Recording and composition

Originally, the band were going to follow up 2006's Goodbye Cool World! with an EP entitled No No New York. This concept was abandoned in favor of recording this album. A song from the abandoned EP, entitled "The Soul Crushing Northeast" can be heard here. This was the first BtMI! album to feature a live band, which was made up of over 20 different musicians.

The title track makes references to both Tom Waits and the Wham! single "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go". "No Rest for the Whiny" was previously titled "Screamin' for a Wage (a.k.a. 2006 World Series of Craig's List Failure)". Unlike previous Bomb the Music Industry! albums, Get Warmer uses phone messages as samples in between songs rather than quotes from movies and TV shows.

Release

On July 31, 2007, Get Warmer was released as a free download from Quote Unquote Records' website. It was released on CD and vinyl through Asian Man on August 7.[5] It was promoted with a cross-country US tour in September and October 2007, including an appearance at The Fest.[6][7] They closed out the year with three shows supporting Anti-Flag.[8] In February and March 2008, the band toured with Rosenstock's side project Pegasuses XL, and then embarked on an April 2008 tour with the Slackers.[9] In May and June 2008, the band toured the US as part of the Asian Man Records Tour with various labelmates.[10]
