It features the download only single "Wolf Carnival" as well as the singles "Dialog on the 2", "The Drop" and download only "Grace And Out Of Me" which includes the video for the song directed by Jamie Lenman of Reuben.

Pain Agency

The band's second album is called Pain Agency, which was released on May 4, 2009, through Maybe Records. It was produced by the band and recorded in their own studio in Ayrshire and was mixed by Chris Sheldon.

Mums' Bad Punk Music was released as a single on November 17, 2008 through Maybe Records. It features three non-album tracks and was released on limited edition CD and digital download.

The second single from the album was "Don't Change (What You Can't Understand)" and was released Mid April 2009 as a digital download via Maybe Records. The package included a brace of newly recorded b-sides.

In October 2009, the band released the third single from Pain Agency in the form of "The Dissident Code". This is the last material to be released from the album.
