Production and recording

In a band newsletter on August 24, 1998, it was announced that the band would work again with Jeff Roe recording in Denton, Texas, and record at Reel Time Audio and release a new album titled "Tell Me When To Whoa" through FFROE Records. [4]

This would be the last album to feature drummer Lance Morrill, who in January 1998, got married and by mid 1999, decided to move on with life and would soon quit the band. In July 1999, Morrill's replacement was announced to be Gary Wiseman.

The EP was reissued in July 1999 and included one new song on the CD, "The Bitch Song", which was receiving radio play around the country. It was again reissued in 2011 for a digital release.
