“[W]e took our time and completely rebuilt [the songs] from the ground up to make sure we made them our own,” says vocalist Benny Santoro. “Some of the songs we loved and had to figure out how to tweak them without totally ruining them and some of the songs we hated and had to figure out how to make them good, but I believe we rose to the challenge and, with the help of our Kickstarter backers, put together a very strange and very cool little cover EP.”
