increasing pain, Breckenridge continued performing shows; he eventually stopped performing while the rest of the band continued, playing the final few Warped shows acoustically. "Under a Killing Moon" was released on a split seven-inch vinyl single with "For the Workforce, Drowning" by Thursday on July 1, 2003. A music video for "All That's Left", which was directed by the Workshop, premiered on MTV a week later. The Artist in the Ambulance was initially planned for release on July 15, 2003, through Island Records, but was delayed until July 22 of that year.
