Background
Listen and Forgive was the band's first release with Rise Records, with whom they signed in December 2010.[3] It was revealed that the band were in the process of writing their next album, planned for release in the fall.[4] In March and April 2011, the band went on tour with Senses Fail.[5] Following this, the band made an appearance at Bled Fest in May.[6] While expressing their interest to open for Patrick Stump's solo show in 2011, they felt that their music was not suitable to open for Stump, and instead brought Stump aboard to feature on "All Your Heart".[citation needed]
Listen & Forgive was written and recording in mid-2011 at Maximum Sound Studios in Danvers, Massachusetts; Gary Cioffi served as producer for the sessions and handled recording alongside Thomas Iannello. Cioffi and Iannello contributed string arrangements to the recordings. Phil Dubnick did additional editing, prior to the album being mixed and mastered by Steven Haigler at Vu Du Studios in Port Jefferson, New York.[7]

In July, the group supported Bayside on their headlining US tour.[8] Listen & Forgive was released on October 4, 2011.
