In a new interview, Pennywise confirms they have returned to Epitaph Records and Epitaph, for their part, continue their path to world domination. Guitarist Fletcher Dragge commented:

He’s a punk rocker, he knows how we think, he supports Pennywise a hundred percent and he feels like “I’m here for you guys.”
And the MySpace thing, just to be clear on that, was we gave that record away. So it was really cool to be able to give away the record. It was really cool to be able to do something cool for the fans, get some new fans. We negotiated a one record deal. We knew that that record company was going to be under in a year. We’re going to be able to get that record back from MySpace now and probably put it out on Epitaph; and we were able to utilize that corporate machine. We used that like a Trojan Horse; we used the corporate machine to get our message out to five hundred and fifty thousand people
