The band includes Daniel Kubinski (ex-Die Kreuzen), Jim Potter (Dr. Shrinker), Christopher Ortiz (Magnetic Minds / Speed Freaks), and Jesse Sieren (Big Laugh / Revelation Records), coming together on a 6-song EP that has four originals and then closes with a reworked Die Kreuzen song and a Hüsker Dü cover.

The EP is a joint release from Triple Eye Industries, Spectragram Records and Rushmor Records.

Tracklist:

1. Nails
2. Hate Market
3. Nychthemeron
