about

This was the first "release" to feature Steve moving into the lead vocals role, as well as the first recordings to feature the core line up moving forward with Rick and Zach. The first 2 tracks went on to be re-recorded for I Am the Curse. This EP was a big turning point for the band, racking up plays on MySpace and selling many copies on tour - but looking back at the songs shows how rough around the edges they were compared to the newer versions on IATC. We figured, might as well upload them here and give them a place to live so one can hear it if they ever want a trip down memory lane or to hear the progression of a band over a couple years.
