A split EP is generally the natural next step for bands who bond on the road like Teens in Trouble and Bat Boy did but rather than recording their sides separately, they spent a week together at District Recording in San Jose, CA—where both had previously made their debut LPs (What’s Mine and Fun Machine, respectively). The split features each band contributing a brand-new original song inspired by their time on tour, plus a cover of each other’s tracks. Of course, their former tour mates in The Dreaded Laramie make a guest appearance, too.

More than just a collaborative release, the split is a snapshot of the friendships that can only come from the long drives, green rooms, and late-night hangs that make up life on tour. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best part of being in a band is the people you meet along the way.
