It was here that the band had recorded, and released 2,000 copies of their self-titled EP, as well as putting their first single "Polyamorous" into heavy rotation at local rock station 97.9 X.
All copies of the EP promptly sold out, and the band was soon signed to Hollywood Records.
[2] The EP contains versions of five songs which were re-recorded for Breaking Benjamin's first major label studio release, Saturate.
[3] Recorded before Aaron Fincke and Mark James left Lifer, the EP is thus the only CD released by Breaking Benjamin as a three-piece band.
The fourth track on the EP, titled "Water", has been remixed as a "remastered EP version" with Jonathan "Bug" Price on the bass, and was later added to their first compilation album, Shallow Bay: The Best of Breaking Benjamin.
