Background
The band recorded the album in Henley-on-Thames, and Richard Warren worked with the band in the studio. It was announced in February 2008 by James Walsh that the album was finished and that the band was mixing the album in a studio in Chiswick called "The Sofa Lounge." They were simultaneously "putting the finishing touches to a busy summer schedule."
According to The Sun, Ronnie Wood from The Rolling Stones had agreed to work with the band on their new album after an approach with lead singer James Walsh. James said to The Sun: "We thought we may as well ask. We expected he'd be too busy but he agreed. He said he liked our stuff and came in for the week. It was amazing."
