The result of those sessions, "Device", is scheduled for release on April 9, 2013. The first single "Vilify" was released to radio ahead of the album on February 19, 2013. In a 2015 interview, Draiman stated that he has no intention on making another Device album. 2) Device was the brainchild of 80s songwriter wunderkind Holly Knight.

It produced a Top 40 single in the U.S. with Hanging On a Heart Attack, which peaked at #35. The band's second single Who Says peaked at #79.

A third and final single When Love is Good was released while the album peaked at #73 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. Mike Chapman produced the album.
