Victory Records put "Ex's and Oh's" out in 2006 as the first single from A Death-Grip on Yesterday, Atreyu's third album, though "Her Portrait in Black", cut for the Underworld: Evolution soundtrack, had beaten it out the door that year. Behind the wink of a title sits a hard subject: the stretch when singer Alex Varkatzas was hooked on alcohol. All five players share the writing credit, and Josh Abraham produced it with the band, with Dan Jacobs and Travis Miguel on guitars, Marc McKnight on bass and Brandon Saller on drums.
It climbed to 24 on Billboard's mainstream rock chart in June 2006, landed in edited form on Madden NFL 07 and became a downloadable Guitar Hero II track. It's now one of the band's best-known songs and a live staple, with Varkatzas pulling the crowd in.
