The album cover features a picture of the Belmont Secondary School which is the Langford, British Columbia high school that Bob Rock and Paul Hyde attended together.

The band announced plans for a full-length album in 2008 that would combine the songs on this EP with several newer songs. However, the proposed full-length album project never materialized—although one newly recorded track from it ("Shark Attack") was released as a download from the Payolas' website in 2008. It is unknown as to whether any other tracks were recorded for the full length-album project before the Payolas ceased operations in 2008, and shut down their site in 2009.
