===''Last Stop: Crappy Town'' and farewell tour (2006–2008)=== Reggie and the Full Effect dropped off of the Warped Tour in the summer of 2006 to record a follow-up to ''Songs Not to Get Married To'' with producer [[Sean Beavan]]. It was confirmed by a MySpace bulletin that Reggie would release the song "F Train" from his new album exclusively for 24 hours on his MySpace profile on October 31, 2006. The song is much heavier than his other releases, and is very reminiscent of Dewees' former band, Coalesce.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} In July 2007, speculation of Reggie coming to an end began through a message posted on his MySpace page. Later, Dewees posted a message that they had not broken up.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://altpress.com/news/2299.htm |title=News - Alternative Press |publisher=Altpress.com |access-date=2014-08-25}}</ref> However, soon afterward the official Reggie and the Full Effect MySpace page was taken down. On April 8, 2008, [[Alternative Press (magazine)|Alternative Press]] announced that they had received details on the new album from Reggie and the Full Effect. The 12-song album is called ''[[Last Stop: Crappy Town]]'' and was produced by Sean Beavan. The album was initially shelved by Vagrant Records for being "too heavy" and distant from Reggie records of the past. A concept album about Dewees' drug addiction and subsequent rehab, it was originally to be self-titled ''Reggie and the Full Effect''. The original concept had 15 tracks that formed one solid piece of music, each track flowing seamlessly from the last. After a year and a half, Vagrant put the album in the hands of a new mixer, removed 3 tracks and released ''Last Stop: Crappy Town'' on June 17, 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=310500 |title=Reggie and the Full Effect Album Details - News Article |publisher=AbsolutePunk.net |date=2008-06-13 |access-date=2014-08-25}}</ref> In mid-April 2008, the band's MySpace page was reactivated. On August 27, 2008, the band announced via MySpace the release of a B-side entitled "Shit Sandwich" available for free download. It was announced via MySpace that the band would be doing their final tour from August 20 to September 14, 2008, with [[Leathermouth]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://altpress.com/news/4167.htm |title=News - Alternative Press |publisher=Altpress.com |access-date=2014-08-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131216045407/http://altpress.com/news/4167.htm |archive-date=2013-12-16 |url-status=dead }}</ref> However, in an interview with Lawrence.com on June 30, 2008, Dewees made comments about his disappointment that the band would not be touring through his hometown of [[Kansas City, Missouri]], and that he hoped they could play shows there on future tours.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gintowt |first=Richard |url=http://www.lawrence.com/news/2008/jun/30/reggie/ |title=Full Metal Jacket |publisher=Lawrence.com |date=2008-06-30 |access-date=2014-08-25}}</ref> This brought into question whether or not this would be the last for the band. At shows on this tour, Dewees announced that the 'Final Tour' thing was just a joke and a ploy to get more people to show up. He also spoke about fan reaction to the more serious tone of the album saying that "Reggie fans feel betrayed that there are no Common Denominator and no Fluxuation songs on this record. It's like, shit wasn't very fun and happy β it was actually pretty fucking spooky and serious. I can't pretend that it didn't happen ... It took time, and now that I feel comfortable getting back to being a silly jackass, cool."{{relevance inline|date=January 2017}}<!--This paragraph could be removed--> In that same interview, Dewees confirmed that he is currently writing a full album for his British [[electropop]] alter-ego "Fluxuation", one that had been rumored for some time. Dewees had performed 2 half done songs at some of the last tour dates. However, he has not mentioned a release for his other pseudonym, "Common Denominator".{{relevance inline|date=January 2017}}<!--This paragraph is about his other acts and while part of Dewees' bio, doesn't seem relevant to Reggie and the Full Effect.--> At the end of the Farewell Tour, Dewees said, in the September 8, 2008 interview with Mishmash Magazine, that he will be "jumping right back into things" musically. Though he has not disclosed details of his plans, he did say that they involve "an old band from the '90s and early 2000s."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mishmashmagazine.com/VideoPlayer/TabId/111/VideoId/54/Reggie-And-The-Full-Effect-Interview.aspx |title=mishmashmagazine.com |publisher=mishmashmagazine.com |access-date=2014-08-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081226020909/http://www.mishmashmagazine.com/VideoPlayer/TabId/111/VideoId/54/Reggie-And-The-Full-Effect-Interview.aspx |archive-date=2008-12-26 |url-status=usurped }}</ref> The musical plans Dewees has announced were rumored to be a reunion of his former band [[The Get Up Kids]], and these rumors about their reunion were confirmed by the band on November 13, 2008, and the band played their first show since 2005 on November 16, 2008 in Kansas City.{{relevance inline|date=January 2017}}<!--Again, what does this have to do with Reggie and the Full Effect?-->
