In regards to the album's political and social themes, Kevin said that "''I was always very abstractly political. I listened to punk rock records and thought I could punch my time card. And then all this shit in the world made me have to sit up and pay attention – and that’s a good thing. It’s a scary time, so why ignore it?”'' After being dropped by Capitol Records due to a merger with Virgin Records in early 2007, ''Put Your Ghost to Rest'' had become increasingly hard to find in retail locations. In late 2007, Kevin had hinted at a re-release of the album with the aid of Brand New's record label, Procrastinate! Music Traitors and was officially released on April 20, 200 ...
