History

After The 4th Of JuLive was scrapped the band decided they wanted their first release to be a totally different experience from their live shows and immediately began work on their first full length album Understanding The Brobecks. To give fans something to listen to in the meantime the band released an EP of the tracks they were working on during September of 2003, this EP was released to the bands mp3.com page and sold at shows as a $1 CDr.

This is the only release by the band that has never been found in its original state, instead the track list was pieced together from other sources. It is possible different mixes may have been used on the EP in the case of Monday Morning and So Young. Obtaining the original files off the CD would clear up a lot so if you happen to own a copy please contact us in the ‘About Us’ tab.

Trivia

The original track list for this EP on the bands website featured the text ‘Introduction’ at the top in italics that may have been a track on the EP, after years of searching and talking with band members we came to the conclusion it probably didn’t exist. That is until we finally got a glimpse at an old CDr copy that clearly shows an Introduction on the track list, though it’s in italics unlike the rest of the tracks this likely means it’s more of a message from the band rather than an actual introductory track. In either case we would be very interested in hearing it if you happen to have such a thing.

According to Casey Durrans this EP was mixed by Matt and Mike, and then listened to in Mikes car to get an accurate idea of how most people would be hearing it.

The cover art used for this release was the same as the full album, though we’d like to retroactively change it to a scan of a CDr copy at some point to better differentiate the releases in music libraries. If we ever find one…don’t lose hope.
