Following the destruction, Ingle began a relief fund with United Way to raise $1.2 million for his hometown.^[44] To raise awareness about the devastation of Joplin, Ingle took video footage of the destruction and posted it on YouTube on June 1, 2011.

2014–2016: Recycled Youth, Black Cat, and Departure of MacFee

In late 2013, Never Shout Never announced that the group was working on a new album called Recycled Youth, Vol. 1.^[69] The album featured re-worked songs from previous Never Shout Never releases. In January 2014 the band announced that the group had begun recording the album, and was expected to be released later that year.^[69] The album was the first installment of what Drew envisioned to be a three part collection of re-recorded fan and band favorites. It was produced by Eric Palmquist in Los Angeles, California.^[70] In June 2014, Never Shout Never announced that Ian Crawford joined the band as the lead guitarist.^[71] Recycled Youth, Vol. 1 was released on March 3, 2015.^[72]

In June 2017, Never Shout Never performed at the 2017 Warped Tour.^[85] They later embarked on the Throwback Tour, as well as performing at the So What?! Music Festival.^[86] The tour lasted throughout 2017 where they played songs from earlier albums that likely wouldn't be played again for a long time.^[87] In April 2017, Drew revealed he had plans on releasing Never Shout Never's eighth studio album, Emerald Sun. He described the record as "conceptual," dealing with the theme of love. He stated, "It's something I wrote that I feel has a higher message behind it. It's the album I've been wanting to make — [it] portrays my heart and how I see the world." 13 tracks were written for the album.^[87] The album was expected to be released in the summer of 2018, but never made its way onto streaming services.^[84]

On March 23, 2018, the band released a cover of Elvis Presley's "Love Me Tender" on their upcoming cover album, All for Love, composed entirely of covers of love songs.^[88] On April 2, they released their cover of the Beatles' "Something".^[89] It is unlikely All for Love was finished and will ever be released. Drew continued to upload a handful of covers on YouTube, but these were likely not final recordings for the album, nor were they likely intended to be on the album at all.^{[citation needed]}

Ingle revealed in December 2018 that after a small tour in Mexico and Brazil the following month that Never Shout Never would disband.^[90] However, he reached out to fans via an Instagram post two days later asking if he should keep making music under the name.^{[citation needed]} Despite the initial announcement, the band performed shows in Brazil and Mexico in early 2019.^[90] Following the final show in Brazil (with long-time drummer Hayden Kaiser absent) he stated he was uncertain of the band's future, but no official breakup announcement was confirmed.^[91]
