The EP was recorded in late-2006 at Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire with the music producer Jim Abbiss,[6] who had previously worked with Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian.[7] It contained tracks that were re-recordings of demos that the band had performed in their bedrooms.[8]
The band self-released the EP on their own label, Mmm... Records,[9] despite receiving numerous record label offers following the "Road to V" competition.[8] In an interview with The Independent, the band stated that this was because they wanted to gain more experience in the industry first.[10]
