Resolve is Lagwagon's seventh studio album, released in 2005. It is inspired by and dedicated to former Lagwagon drummer Derrick Plourde who died by suicide on March 30, 2005.[3] All of the songs were written shortly after that event. Resolve was Lagwagon's last studio album to feature longtime bassist Jesse Buglione, who left the band in 2010.

## Release

[edit]

On June 24, 2005, Fat Wreck Chords announced that Lagwagon's next album would be released in five months' time.[4] On August 31, 2005, the album's artwork and track listing was posted online.[5] On October 6, 2005, "Automatic" was posted online.[6] Resolve was made available for streaming on October 31, 2005, before being released the following day through Fat Wreck Chords.[5][7] It was promoted with tour of the US with fellow Fat Wreck Chords act the Lawrence Arms.[8] On December 1, 2005, a music video was released for "Heartbreaking Music"; it was made as a memorial to Plourde.[9] In January 2006, they embarked on a tour of Europe with A Wilhelm Scream, which was followed by a trek to Australia.[10][11] Between June and August 2006, Lagwagon played a few shows in South Africa with Fuzigish, which led into a European tour, and then a US tour with the Lawrence Arms and A Wilhelm Scream.[12][13][14] In November 2006, the band went on a short tour of Japan, which they dubbed the JaPANDAmonium Tour.[15] In April 2007, they embarked on a tour of Europe, which included an appearance at the Groezrock festival.[16][17] Following this, they appeared on most of that year's Warped Tour, missing three weeks' worth of shows in the middle of the trek.[18] They then played three shows in California in September 2007.[19]
