I have to agree with this. Their just older now and slightly more mature about it haha

Happy Holidays, you bastard

I'm really interested to see if this is actually Christmas themed. Really want to hear the Box Car Racer influenced track. Also, Mark talked about the EP/ upcoming full length, I remember thinking that it seemed like the EP might be joke songs. He said something like "they will start recording for "real" in feb"

i took that as "we will start seriously getting to business on the new album in feb." not "the EP is a joke, but the full length is REAL."

Any chance of the Blinkumentary being included in these bundles? EP to go with the DVD? hmm...

It's also shocking that the band got together within one week and recorded a whole EP

Weren't they supposed to release and actually Christmas album a long time ago (like between TOYPAJ and their self-titeld)? I actually kinda want this to be like that

Not all that shocking.

haha i don't think i remember ever hearing anything about that. i feel like new-school Christmas albums are so hoaky... i figured this would be an EP of a few new (non-holiday) songs so they could play some new stuff on their upcoming Australian tour. but i'm not sure what to think anymore, haha.

What label will this be put out on?

Compared to two+ years of the band missing their self and label-imposed deadlines and hardly working in a room together?

That's a jarring, and shocking, difference to most people I think.

Can someone clear this up for me is this going to be a Christmas theme EP or an EP of new material? I thought it was the latter but I'm confused now!

I still think people grossly misrepresent the time the band spent together writing songs. And this ignores all the time together on tour, etc. The band was touring like crazy, had other projects, and I'd assume recorded probably an EPs worth of songs in just as little of time.
