Nice!!1

I'm really wondering what it's going to sound like. Hopefully there's atleast 3-4 songs. If it's one I'll be pissed! lol

says that they have 5 songs already, with one christmas song
they're all really hyping the shit out of this ep, it better be as awesome as they all claim!

edit: apparently they're releasing the artwork piece by piece. here's the two so far

There'll be 5 songs if they all "pass" after being mixed.

[withchappedlips]

Personally, I would love to hear all five even if they don't "pass". I'd like to hear one of the non-passing songs, and then hear it later in another EP / album / etc. in a form that is good enough for them to release... or at least, if one doesn't pass, maybe when they release a single for the EP, put it on the b-side of it.

Love the album art. Love anything to do with the blink bunny. Really shocked at the price of the Santa's Lap Package though.

[Resident Skumfuk]

dogs eating dogs?

[Sum41Ant27]

I sadly got the Santa's Lap package, only because for the autographs. Hopefully I get something good for the "surprise". Better be better than the extra shirt I got from the Neighborhoods pre-order.

[Bobbyjames]

That Santa's Lap package seems really expensive for what it is. The poster looks cool though.

[Tyler.]

^Yeah it's pretty overpriced, that's how they're making the extra money for the surprise gifts hahah

Hopefully it's not too long before they explain it in an interview! Seems like it's "dog eat dog world", maybe something to do with leaving the label.

[Bobbyjames]

That's a point, who are they releasing this on? Or are they just releasing it themselves?

[Tyler.]

Just sticking it up on iTunes and through their website I think, no labels unless they put Tom's record labels name on it

[Tyler.]

You can get a funny sweater here (unfortunately it's not knitted) and some other limited stuff

Also Mark said they're working on a CD copy of the EP but it won't be ready by the release date.

Travis said the song that mentions Christmas is the mellowest and there are some heavier songs on the EP, and that they want to release that Christmas one before the EP, but there's only about 10 days left anyway. Today was the last day of mixing!

[Bobbyjames]

Kind of looking forward to this, really don't know what to expect!

[Tyler.]

Interesting album art...I kinda like it but not a whole heap, it looks really old school hardcore haha.

I'm not liking the art at all. First what's with the Blink-182? Looks like a crappy tattoo artist wording. They should just keep the font they've been using. The wolf (looks more like that than a dog) is ok. I feel Tom and Mark left Travis to do the artwork. He had the smiley. That was the best. This isn't...

Info from a guy that meets Travis a bit at his store is that the Christmas song is the "folk" song and it'll be out on Monday or Tuesday, called "Boxing Mitt"

This guy had some legit info last week so I'll believe him!

[Jeremy Kill]

Yeah, not a fan of the album art. They've had better posters, to be honest. Interested in hearing this "folk" song as well as the whole EP. So, it's going to be released some time this month?

Is this the same one that had that 14 second video on youtube? I guess that's when they'll release the full album artwork. They better not have people, who already paid for the ep, to pay for the song. Well it's either going to be tomorrow or 2 days from now. I can wait!
