THIS EP WAS THE DEBUT RELEASE FROM SLAVES TO DARKNESS RECORDS, WHICH, ASIDE FROM THIS 7 INCH, ALSO PUT OUT BUMBKLAATT'S DEBUT 7 INCH, AND CO-RELEASED BUMBKLAATT'S "CIEGOS" EP (ON CD) WITH DESPOTIC RECORDS, BACTERIA SOUR, CRYPTAS RECORDS AND REACCIONA (THE LATTER TWO LABELS RELEASED A REISSUE OF "CIEGOS IN 2007 AND ARE BASED IN MEXICO).
THE DRATS WERE COMPRISED OF KENNY LABBACHER, RYAN JONES, DJ DEFLORIO, AND BRANDON FINK. THERE IS NO INFORMATION ON WHERE THIS EP WAS RECORDED. A LIMITED RUN OF BLUE TRANSLUCENT VINYL WAS ISSUED, WITH THE REST PRESUMABLY RELEASED ON STANDARD BLACK VINYL.
