"Our debut EP. Most of this was written before Billy came into the picture (he was studying abroad in England) but listening to this, you'd never know. 7 songs, all written in about 3 months and banged out one weekend in Washington DC. This record was fun, fast and a little rough around the edges, but a few of these songs are still in our live set. I got in lots of trouble for doing this layout while I was still working a "real job" at a large cable channel.
Too bad the vinyl is out of print because I was pretty happy with how the insert turned out. For the 10" version, 114 or so are on orange and some test presses were packed up in metal jackets and sold at a show in Philly."
