The band released its first EP, Let the Transmitting Begin , in early 2002 through Infernal Records. The initial release featured the songs "Such the Fool", "If You Weren't So Perfect", and "Hold My Finger"; all three songs would be re-recorded for The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out. Shortly after the EP's release, Sikth was signed to Unparalleled Carousel/Gut Records, who would release the band's second EP How May I Help You? on 23 September 2002. [5] How May I Help You? featured the title track, "Suffice", and a cover of "Tupelo", originally by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
