The EP will consist of 6 songs, 5 songs will be acoustic renditions of previously recorded Hinder tracks while the first track will be a cover of the group K's Choice song "Not an Addict".[3][8] Altogether the EP will consist of 1 newly recorded track, 4 acoustic versions of songs from the band's 2015 album When The Smoke Clears and a newly recorded version of the band's 2005 hit Get Stoned with new vocalist Marshal Dutton singing vocals.[9] The band also announced that they will be touring June–July 2016 with New Zealand-based rockers Like a Storm in support of the EP.[10][3][11]
Vocalist Marshal Dutton commented on the EP saying; "We’re thrilled to finally be able to release this acoustic EP. When we write songs, we believe that they have to be great with just an acoustic guitar. The rest of the instrumentation is just icing on the cake. We can’t wait get out on the road and show our fans our music in its original form."[8]
