Tracks 1-6 were our first demo, the Squatter's Rights EP. We road our bikes down to the 7th St. Space late one Tuesday night and Mike secretly recorded us. It had to be a secret... we were extremely drunk and sloppy back then and people didn't like us. We actually had to wait down the street for a band to finish practicing before we could sneak in. Mike really liked us for some reason. He recorded those tracks in about as much time as it takes to listen to them, in return we gave him a hamburger. The demo was finished just in time for us to distribute at our first show on April 15, 2010 at the House Cafe.

Track 7 is a sample I always wanted to use

Track 8 is the 2nd or 3rd time we ever jammed out Melvins. Probably the best recording of it we will ever pull off

Track 9 is from the Squatter's Rights recording session. We haven't played it since early 2011

Track 10 is Rob being Whittier than you

Track 11 is my favorite demo of the Goons of DeKalb. Really captures the slop there

Track 12 is us drunk at our third show

Tracks 13 and 14 were recorded at Cody's old apartment (Colonial Apt. C1) one stormy summer night... or maybe winter night? It was a night regardless

Tracks 15, 16, 17 and 19 are the first Stockyards demos recorded at Kevin's old house (100 Park Ave... that blue one next to American Liquor) in January of 2010. This is how I was introduced to Kevin and Alex

Track 18 is in regards to track 19

Track 20 is good fun

You probably didn't read all of this or listen to the whole album and you really don't need to. If you did, thank you. Now I'm going to find something else to get nostalgic about.
