Even with this EP from the Idaho-based band being a stripped back acoustic release it is still unmistakably punk from the get go. Relying on the raw energy to transmit through the tracks, "Façade" is the most representative song on the EP encapsulating all the elements they have on offer. Sounding a bit like MxPx, "Retaliate" borders on unplugged grunge while "I Refuse" is an instrumental. "Threat" offers the most sing-along-friendly track and the harmony from the acoustic guitars on "Where Do We Go From Here" makes a fitting send off. There is a story behind the EP title as it was launched from generous donations by False Idle fans making it possible for the band to travel to Fillmore, California for the Thumper Punk Records Night. And hence the EP was born.
