Production and recording

As of August 25, 2010, the band is situated in Los Angeles recording their upcoming album with producer John Feldmann. The album was influenced by Finch's What It Is to Burn (2002). According to a Twitter post made by Craig Owens on October 17, 2010, D.R.U.G.S.' album is finished and currently is waiting release. A similar post was also made by Matt Good a day later.

On November 11, 2010, Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows released their first single, "If You Think This Song Is About You, It Probably Is." On December 6, 2010, they released their second single, "Mr. Owl Ate My Metal Worm," (which is one of two songs, along with "Laminated E.T. Animal," whose titles are both palindromes).

On January 17, 2011, a supposed "sex tape" featuring Craig Owens and another woman was released, along with stills, on the website Is Anyone Up?. The video turned out to be a hoax, as the ending revealed it to be promotion for the music video D.R.U.G.S.' single "Sex Life" which would premiere the next day, January 18.

Also on January 18, pre-orders for their Regular and Deluxe versions were made available on iTunes. On February 1, "My Swagger Has a First Name" was released for streaming on the internet.

On February 9, 2011, Alternative Press released an exclusive album reveal video for "The Only Thing You Talk About" which is Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows's legal rendition of the song "Thermacare" originally by Chiodos. On February 10, 2011, D.R.U.G.S. released another album reveal video for the song "Graveyard Dancing" on MTV. Since then, they have released the songs on various media outlets, including "Laminated E.T. Animal", "Stop Reading, Start Doing Pushups" and "I'm The Rehab, You're The Drugs" on AbsolutePunk, Noisecreep, and Friends or Enemies. An album reveal video has been released for every song on the album.

The music video for "If You Think This Song Is About You, It Probably Is," was released on December 2, 2010. The official video for the song "Sex Life", featuring the band performing this time, was released on April 7, 2011.

On July 12, 2011, D.R.U.G.S. released a live EP titled "Live From Hot Topic", which includes 5 live versions of songs from the album: "The Only Thing You Talk About", "My Swagger has a First Name", "Mr. Owl Ate My Metal Worm", "Graveyard Dancing" and "If You Think This Song is About You, It Probably Is".
