Overview Edit

The Same Old Blood Rush with a New Touch is Cute Is What We Aim For's debut album, released on June 20, 2006 on Fueled by Ramen. The band released November 20, 2007, the MVI, Special edition version of the album, which contains special Karaoke tracks, as well as 2 additional tracks and video and photos from the bands' concerts in 2007.

The Academy Is...'s William Beckett lent vocals to the album's first single "There's a Class for This," which openly addresses the band's ever-surrounding drama (culminating in the song's chorus "Drama doesn't follow me, it rides on my back/I may be ugly, but they sure love to stare"). The music video directed by Jay Martin premiered on mtvU on July 17, 2006. On February 26, 2007 the group's second single, "The Curse of Curves," was released. The video was directed by Lex Hallaby. For the band's third single, "Newport Living," the video was edited by Dylan Steinberg using various footage (over 15 hours) of the band members on tour plus a live show at The Metro in Chicago. The video was released on October 29, 2007.
