History

The band was formed when the Brisbane, Australian band Ochre disbanded, and three of its members formed Dead Letter Circus. The new band already had one song, "Tremors", which was recorded while Ochre was still going, and was completely different to Ochre's musical style ("Tremors" was later featured as a B-side to the "Next in Line" single). Dead Letter Circus released this EP on 5 May 2007.
