Background

This version of The Worst of Them was released as a music video in late 2012 while Case Snedecor was still their drummer and Jake Vinston was their bassist. [1]

In anticipation of the new EP, the band released the following statement: “We had a lot of fun making this record, being able to reimagine songs and show that we aren’t just metalcore kids, or whatever you wanna call us. We are multitalented, and we aren’t set on one taste of music; we respect and appreciate all variations. Sorry it took so long to put this out, guys!” [2]
