the band recorded the self-titled "justin king and the apologies" record at king's blackberry hill studio as well as studios in los angeles, new york, and san francisco. the recording process took more than a year during which time the band continued to tour extensively throughout the nation as well as some international performances. after a large shakeup at epic records in which the president and the band's a&r representative left the company the band stayed on in limbo with epic for about one more year before requesting to be let go from the label. epic gave the master recording rights to the band and the album was released independently by the band shortly thereafter. after touring tirelessly throughout the year the band broke up around the end of 2007.
