STORY

We started writing these songs directly after the "Fuck Bar Culture" EP came out in 2007. In the process, we would write a bunch of songs and then cut the ones we weren't feeling any more. Some of the songs are a bit "harder" than the ones on the last 7", but we didn't plan for that to happen. The faster songs kind of make the last 7" look slow. It really helped that we demo'd these songs for the Cycle of Violence tape because it broke up the song writing and allowed us to sit down and change a few things on those songs, and get a feel for how we wanted them to be recorded. Just before we recorded this we spent as much time as we could practicing a lot and getting it super tight.

These songs were all actually recorded for the most part in a pretty short amount of time, considering the fact that it is 17 songs. The whole thing would have been recorded in 3 days if I hadn't blown my voice with 5 songs to go. Thus, we had to come back a few days later and knock it out + gang vocals. Recording with Joe Mitra was once again a very pleasant experience as he kept us on top of our game, sounding good, and keeping us laughing the whole time too. With this record we were able to fine tune the recording elements that we weren't keen on with the 7". Joe was incredibly receptive to this and gave us an end product that we coudln't have been happier with.
