ep

It collects the debut single I've Never Met Anyone I Thought I Could Really Love (Until I Met You) and Shells, both produced by Lewis Whiting of English Teacher, with Alright Alright Alright, Drunk Surfer and Slowly I'm Sure. Haycocks told Clash the songs were essentially the first the band wrote together. Alright Alright Alright, the lead single, was in the band's words the first original thing they ever played, a punk song about a cowboy.

It came out on LP, CD and digital, and reached number 8 on the Record Store Chart and 16 on the vinyl albums chart. DIY gave it four stars and called it a compelling introduction.
