The band launched Comedown Machine in 2013, as their very last album under the deal with extensive-time label RCA, for which they did no advertising. The band started rehearsing a fourteen-music established which involved "Alone, Together", "Barely Legal", "Last Nite", "The Modern Age", "New York City Cops", "Soma", "Someday", "Take It or Leave It" and "This Life" (an early edition of "Trying Your Luck").
