In early 2012 after the release of their debut album The Drug in Me Is You, the band announced the departure of bassist Mika Horiuchi,[7] he was replaced by former I Am Ghost bassist Ron Ficarro. In May 2014, the band announced the departure of bassist Ron Ficarro after his participation in the album Fashionably Late released in 2013, on that same day they announced that he would be replaced by former bassist and co-founder of Escape the Fate, Max Green (who had announced his departure from Escape the Fate days before after his return to the band in late 2013).[8]
