In 1998, The Dillinger Escape Plan wrote and recorded the EP ''[[Under the Running Board]]''. During this time period, The Dillinger Escape Plan gained notoriety in the [[Punk scene|hardcore punk scene]] for the intensity of their performances which were increasingly wild, and often violent. This reputation, as well as the creative, technical approach of their music, led to [[Relapse Records]] offering the band a multi-record contract.<ref name="sing365">{{cite web|url=http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Dillinger-Escape-Plan-Biography/EDEAB9F3FFF02E6348256CEA000DD6C2|title=Dillinger Escape Plan Biography|last=Apostolopoulos|first=Tom|date=January 18, 2011|website=Sing365.com|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130202052253/http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Dillinger-Escape-Plan-Biography/EDEAB9F3FFF02E6348256CEA000DD6C2|archive-date=February 2, 2013|url-status=dead|access-date=March 6, 2016}}</ref> Shortly after the release of ''Under the Running Board'', rhythm guitarist John Fulton left the band to focus on his [[computer programming]] studies.<ref>{{cite book| last = Mudrian| first = Albert| author-link = Albert Mudrian| last2 = Stewart-Panko| first2 = Kevin| date = 2009| title = Precious Metal: Decibel Presents the Stories Behind 25 Extreme Metal Masterpieces| publisher = [[Da Capo Press]]| chapter = 100% CLASSIC| isbn = 978-0306818066| url-access = registration| url = https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780306818066/page/304| page = [https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780306818066/page/305 305]}}</ref>
