'please, don't go home' is a european compilation LP released by our buds at shield recordings in 2010. the LP consists of our 'sleepwalk' CDEP as well as the 'pop punk is dead' CDEP. The vinyl release also has 'raymond and james' and 'my best face' on it as bonus tracks.

'sleepwalk' was our first release and was put out by our good friends at frequency deleted records in 2007. 'destroy the radio', 'planet', 'oceans', and 'sleepwalk' were originally recorded as a demo with our first drummer anthony. we didn't know what we were going to do with it and weren't really jamming much, but after our friends hit us up about it we were inspired to get our shit together. when we decided to take stuff a little more seriously, we had to part ways with anthony because he had a lot going on at the time. this was a bummer because he was a good friend and one of my favorite drummers, but fortunately for us my cousin ryan stepped right in. when ryan joined we still hadn't released the 'sleepwalk' cdep so we decided to write and record a few new jams with our new bandmate for the release. we tracked 'active reactive' and 'she calls me america' shortly after, and mastered all 6 tracks together to complete the release. we started playing shows like a motherfucker and eventually put out a split 7" with our budz in frogball on neutral territory. the songs 'oceans' and 'destroy the radio' appeared on the split and became our first release on vinyl. i'm forever grateful for having so many awesome people around to help us do some cool shit. eventually, our good friends at shield recordings in holland would release 'sleepwalk' on a compilation LP called 'please, don't go home' along with 'pop punk is dead' and a few bonus tracks that would later appear on our 'nice knowing you' 7" via kiss of death records.

'pop punk is dead' was written and recorded shortly after our first release. we were playing out a lot at the time and we wanted to focus on writing shorter, more aggressive songs with an emphasis on down strokes. we kept making friends with bands, promoters, and labels and we were hit up by our homeboy jason who ran cheapskate records who wanted to do something. cheapskate put out our second CDEP in 2008 and did a wonderful job. somewhere around this time we went on our first real tour with frogball, dolarhyde, and murdock which was fucking incredible. we played so many cool houses and basements, and nearly froze to death multiple times. we made so many friends and memories on that tour that it's hard to even sort it out in my head. sometime after that, another homie from a local label called thirsty & miserable wanted to put out a split 7" with our budz the young leaves which was fucking awesome. we used the tracks cement shoes, eat leaves, and wasted from the PPID sessions for this release and it honestly couldn't have came out any better. it's still to this day one of the best looking 7"s i have ever seen, much love to thirsty & miserable and the immortal young leaves for that one. eventually, our good friends at shield recordings in holland would release PPID on a compilation LP called 'please, don't go home' along with 'sleepwalk' and a few bonus tracks that would later appear on our 'nice knowing you' 7" via kiss of death records.
