The EP signaled a drastic change in the band's sound, which also followed major lineup changes following the departure of lead vocalist Tim Maurer and trumpet player Aaron Bertram, and the untimely death of trombonist Ryan Dallas Cook.

This genre change was largely abandoned in favor of the band's original ska-influenced style with the release of Going on Tour in 2010 and Day Job in 2012.

The EP's first five tracks are all-new, funk/disco-influenced pop rock, with a soft, melancholy piano rock version of "Bright Spring Morning," a track from the group's 2003 album, Rump Shaker.

It contains the original EP (with slightly re-ordered track listing), a cover song, two new songs (which later appeared on the band's full-length album Infectious) and songs from the album Rump Shaker, remixed and complete with a new vocal track from Vince Walker, as well as new horn and synthesizer tracks.

A cover of Katteni-Shindobatto by Southern All Stars was recorded for the album, but did not make it onto the final release due to publishing issues.
