The album marks a stylistic shift for the band, taking influences from progressive rock and most of Connor Lovat-Fraser's vocals being sung rather than screamed.[2]

Release

On April 6, 2005, Trainwreck was announced for release in three months' time.[3] Boys Night Out embarked on a cross-country tour of Canada with the Fullbast, Blue skies at War and As Tall as Lions, and supported Millencolin on their headlining US West Coast tour in May 2005.[3][4] On May 29, 2005, the album's artwork and track listing was posted online; alongside this, "Composing" was made available for free download through the band's Myspace profile.[5] On June 23, 2005, "Medicating" was posted online; the song's music video followed on July 15, 2005.[6][7] On July 25, 2005, "Healing" was posted on their PureVolume account.[8] Trainwreck was released on July 26, 2005.[3] Between September and November 2005, the band toured the US as part of the Nintendo Fusion Tour, which was headlined by Fall Out Boy.[9] Between January and March 2006, the band went on a cross-country US tour with Armor for Sleep and Chiodos, titled the Invisible Sideshow.[10] On March 23, 2006, the Fullblast announced their breakup and said that their drummer Andy Lewis had joined Boys Night Out as a guitarist.[11] The split had caused some controversy, with Davis needing to clarify that they "didn't steal him from the [Full]blast, and we did not break up the band".[12] In May 2006, the band toured the US with Anterrabae, Just Surrender, and Drive By, prior to the Canadian tour with The Receiving End of Sirens, Rosesdead, and Machete Avenue.[13] On June 27, 2006, the band released their first video album Dude, You Need to Stop Dancing, which includes a live performance filmed in March 2006 in Toronto, Canada, music videos, and a documentary directed by Simon Bruyn and Matt Unsworth.[14] In the following two months, the band performed at the Scene Music Festival and Wakestock, both in Canada.[15][16] In September and October 2006, the band went on a Canadian tour with Moneen, and performed at the launch party for the 2006 Canadian Open.[17][18]
