==Release and promotion== Two of the album's outtakes, "Hell Yes" and "My Standard Break from Life", were released on [[7" vinyl]] through [[Lookout! Records]] on March 13, 2001.<ref name=News040501>{{cite web|url=http://www.alkalinetrio.com:80/news.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20010405090118/http://alkalinetrio.com/news.html|title=News|publisher=Alkaline Trio|archivedate=April 5, 2001|accessdate=November 5, 2020|url-status=live}}</ref> ''From Here to Infirmary'' was released on April 3, 2001, by Vagrant Records. With the cover artwork, Skiba said the band attempt to give the album a [[Heavy metal fashion|"metal" look]]. They initially had different ideas for the cover, however, the band was on tour at the time, and had to relay their ideas to Vagrant. When they returned from tour, the cover wasn't what they wanted; the artwork was a week past the deadline. Skiba, still with no idea for the final cover, told the label to use photos of the band: "When I saw it I said, 'make the eyes go away,' and I was like 'Thereโs the cover.'"<ref name=ATEggum/> The UK version of the album, which included "My Standard Break from Life" and "Hell Yes" as bonus tracks, was co-released by [[B-Unique Records|B-Unique]] and Vagrant.<ref name=FHTIbooklet/> On July 2, 2001, Felumlee took to the band's [[Internet forum|webboard]] to announce his departure, stating that Skiba "doesn't want to tour with me anymore."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.punknews.org/article/1615/its-official-mike-is-out-of-the-alkaline-trio|title=It's official, Mike is out of the Alkaline Trio|publisher=Punknews.org|author=Heisel, Scott|date=July 2, 2001|accessdate=November 5, 2020|archive-date=February 10, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210210123204/https://www.punknews.org/article/1615/its-official-mike-is-out-of-the-alkaline-trio|url-status=live}}</ref> The following day, the band's manager posted on the webboard, explaining that Skiba had planned to replace Felumlee after their previous tour ended. Skiba and Felumlee weren't getting along; Skiba wished to tour all-year around, however, Felumlee didn't want to as he was looking after his family. Face to Face member [[Pete Parada]], along with [[Atom Willard]] of [[Rocket from the Crypt]], subsequently filled Felumlee's position.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.punknews.org/article/1622/dude-from-face-to-face-in-alkaline-trio|title=Dude from Face to Face in Alkaline Trio|publisher=Punknews.org|author=Paul, Aubin|date=July 3, 2001|accessdate=July 29, 2019|archive-date=February 10, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210210123204/https://www.punknews.org/article/1622/dude-from-face-to-face-in-alkaline-trio|url-status=live}}</ref> Alkaline Trio knew Parada from previously playing shows with Face to Face; Skiba grew up admiring Rocket from the Crypt, and was influenced by Willard.<ref name=ATEggum/> Felumee formed Duvall with members of the Smoking Popes shortly afterwards.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.punknews.org/article/1838/beware-duvall|title=Beware - Duvall!|publisher=Punknews.org|author=Heisel, Scott|date=August 18, 2001|accessdate=February 10, 2021}}</ref> On July 8, 2001, the [[music video]] for "Stupid Kid" was posted on the band's website.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.punknews.org/article/1638/the-stupid-kid-video|title=The Stupid Kid video|publisher=Punknews.org|author=Paul, Aubin|date=July 8, 2001|accessdate=July 29, 2019|archive-date=February 10, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210210123221/https://www.punknews.org/article/1638/the-stupid-kid-video|url-status=live}}</ref> The video was directed by [[Maureen Egan]], the sister of Vagrant owner Rich Egan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.alkalinetrio.com/reviews/i7.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050619191722/http://www.alkalinetrio.com/reviews/i7.html|title=Alkaline Trio|publisher=Alkaline Trio|author=Nickson, Jon|date=December 2001|archivedate=June 19, 2005|accessdate=November 5, 2020}}</ref> Following this, [[Derek Grant (drummer)|Derek Grant]], formerly of the [[Suicide Machines]], joined as Felumlee's full-time replacement.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1445360/alkaline-trio-wont-let-spinal-tap-curse-slow-them/|title=Alkaline Trio Won't Let Spinal Tap Curse Slow Them|publisher=MTV|author=Moss, Corey|date=July 23, 2001|access-date=November 5, 2020|archive-date=February 10, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210210123232/http://www.mtv.com/news/1445360/alkaline-trio-wont-let-spinal-tap-curse-slow-them/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Andriano met Grant when his former band Slapstick went on tour with Suicide Machines.
