The EP was released in May 1996.

The track "I'm Stained" was later re-recorded for their debut album, Sumo. A re-recorded version of "Shut My Eyes" was also later included as a hidden track on Sumo.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 1997, the EP won two ARIA Awards, "Best New Talent" and "Breakthrough Artist – Single".<ref name=aria97>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
