It was released in the United States on October 18, 2011 through Island Records, with varying release dates in other regions. Stumps solo project was officially announced in January 2010 and he later revealed his first albums title to be Soul Punk. It is the first major musical project undertaken by Stump since Fall Out Boys hiatus in late 2009.
