Background
In an Alternative Press interview, Ben Bruce showed concern for the EP's reception, questioning if people will like it or not. He hopes that, due to their influence by 80's rock music, it will have their older fans reminiscing on music they grew up on, as well as introducing their younger audience to music they may have never heard of. The reasoning behind the Skid Row covers was due to their status as "timeless classics". The "Sincerity" and "American Average" remixes were done to "broad the horizons and introduce people to another genre of music we love to listen to." and what is to come for the remix album "Stepped Up and Scratchted". Including "Breathless" on the EP is to give fans a taste of what's to come on Reckless and Relentless. The demo of "I Was Once, Possibly, Maybe, Perhaps a Cowboy King" is a "version that most people won't be familiar with and that you can't buy anywhere else."Track listing
