On the December 27 date of Elvis Depressedly and Crying's tour, the band reformed "on a whim" to play a secret set at the Charm City Art Space in Baltimore. In February 2013, the band released a compilation on Bandcamp titled Rarities, Unreleased Stuff, and Cool Things. They played two more shows in December 2012 and January 2013, then disbanded. In November 2012, Teen Suicide released another EP titled hymns prior to announcing they were breaking up. Around this time, Alec Simke became a full-fledged member of the band. In September 2012, Teen Suicide released their debut full-length album titled i will be my own hell because there is a devil inside my body. Instead, the tracks intended for release on the album were included as part of the compilation Rarities, Unreleased Stuff, and Cool Things, then released separately shortly afterward. A full-length album entitled waste yrself was also being produced around the same time, but it was left uncompleted.

They followed up that EP with a three-song EP titled goblin problems in June 2012. In February of the following year, they released an EP titled DC snuff film.

Teen Suicide formed initially as a solo project of Sam Ray in 2009 and released a 2011 compilation, bad vibes forever, which consisted of "early early demos." Soon after this, Eric Livingston joined the band making a duo with Ray on vocals, guitar, synthesizers, drum machines, and bass, and Livingston on drums and vocals, occasionally accompanied by various unofficial members such as Alec Simke and Caroline White.
