Television Off, Party On is the debut extended play by American pop punk band Forever the Sickest Kids. It was released on July 3, 2007, via Universal Motown Records. [3]
In 2006, Forever the Sickest Kids formed after lead vocalist Jonatha Cook spent several hundred dollars for a front-page song placement on PureVolume. [4] Without having any songs written yet, the band wrote "Hey Brittany" and recorded it in two days. The song garned the attention of Universal Motown Records who signed them in April 2007, leading up to the release of Television Off, Party On. [5]
The group recorded Television Off, Party On four months after signing with Universal Motown Records. [6] Working with producer Geoff Rockwell, the EP was recorded at Rockwell Audio, where Rockwell also engineered the EP, while mixing was handled by Dan Malsch. [7] The tracks "Believe Me, I'm Lying", "She's a Lady", and "Breakdown" were later re-recorded for their 2008 debut studio album Underdog Alma Mater . [8]

So get on board now before your little brother or sister goes to see them at the local arena..."
