VCR is the 2003 debut recording by the American band VCR, originally on Pop Faction Records as a limited-edition and regional release, created solely to sell at shows and give away to friends. When VCR was picked up by SideOneDummy, the album was re-released with a wider distribution in 2005.

2005 SideOneDummy release

The extended play recording helped gain the attention of SideOneDummy, leading to its re-release in 2005, with a different album cover. "We Are VCR" is not included; instead it contains the demo versions of "Really Something" and "Destroy", which were recorded and released again on the 2006 album Power Destiny . It includes a more thorough album booklet, with lyrics, as well as a different studio mix of the tracks, which was done by Bruce MacFarlane.

1. "Rad" – 2:40
2. "Back In Business" – 2:41
3. "King And Queen Of Winter" – 3:15

Note: Although the album lists "Really Something" and "Destroy" as separate tracks, they are actually combined as one audio track on the album.
