"This Is a Stick Up... Don't Make It a Murder" is the first full-length album from Hit the Lights, released on April 11 2006 on Triple Crown Records. Three of the tracks that were featured on their previous EP "Until We Get Caught" were redone for this album. There are guest appearances from Just Surrender, Kick Over The Traces and Race The Sun.Fact|date=February 2007

The album's opening track "The Call Out (You Are the Dishes)" responds to a review from AbsolutePunk.net about the band's EP "Until We Get Caught". The first few lyrics ("Tell me again how we're easily forgettable/So formulaic and way too simple to be/At all original, yeah, so we've heard/It's time to keep your mouth shut/While we show you how to rock and roll") reference and quote the reviewer who wrote the band off as "enjoyable, but easily forgettable".

Don't Make It a Murder" however, AbsolutePunk.net did a large promotion campaign, including banner ads, front page news coverage and an official "album leak", previewing the entire album weeks before its release date.
