===Background===

After limited touring in support of their debut major label studio album, ''Closure'' (2014), the band entered Lakeland Studios in Burnsville, Minnesota and recorded 7 songs with producer Kris Crummett in a matter of 10 days in early December 2014. In late January of 2015, the band entered Conway Recording Studios in Georgia, Florida with Crummett to record another 7 songs in a time period of 4 weeks going into February. In part of Fearless Records, the second half of the album's recording sessions were completely paid for and thus resulted in less stress for the band during the recording process. 

News of the album first sprung on February 9, 2015 when the band published a post on Facebook confirming that they were not breaking up, following rumors that the band would split up in 2014, and that they would be releasing a new album with Fearless Records during the Spring of 2015. They released their single "On the Run", accompanied with its lyric video on February 17, 2015. The song later achieved success on the U.S. Billboard Alternative Songs chart, peaking at No. 9. A music video for "On the Run" was uploaded to their Vevo account on February 27, 2015. On March 16 and 17, it was confirmed that the band was shooting a music video for a yet-to-be-releasing single in Los Angeles California. The single "We Own the Night" was released on April 7, 2015 along with its music video. The single peaked at No. 11 on the Alternative Songs chart and also charted at No. 3 on Billboard's Twitter Real-Time chart. The same day, the band announced their second album's title, release date, and album art cover.

''Canvases'' was released in the United States on May 5, 2015 through Fearless Records. It debuted and peaked at No. 18 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 Albums chart, No. 4 on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart, and at No. 3 on the Alternative Albums chart. Following the album's release, the band released their third single "Shark Dad" on July 3, 2015 with its music video. On August 13, 2015, the band released their music video for the song "Awkward." On September 10, 2015, the band premiered their music video for "The Cuddler" through Alternative Press. On the album's notes, the song "Death to the Strawberry Swisher" was aptly titled "Death of a Strawberry" in the album's psychical copies in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, however was titled "Strawberry Swisher, Pt. 4" in Australian copies. 

In support of the album, the band performed on the 2015 Vans Warped Tour on the Shark Stage. From October 23 to November 27, 2015, the band toured as a supporting act on Hands Like Houses' Dissonants Tour with Lower Than Atlantis, Brigades, and Too Close to Touch.
