Recording
edit"A Who's Who Road of Living" was recording at Atlantis Studios in Melbourne, and mixed by George Elliot Swanson. Ten songs were actually recorded during this session; "Recital", "Order", "Dagger", "In Theory", "The First Lines", "Take A Breath", "Broken Hands", "Falling Short", "Stick & Move", and "Plaster Cast". The band felt they were not yet ready to release a full-length album, so they split up the songs; the first six were released on this EP; "Order" was re-released along with "Broken Hands", "Plaster Cast" and "Stick & Move" on the "Order" 7" single in February 2004; and "Falling Short" was released on the "Caddy of the Year" compilation CD from Below Par Records.[2]
Singles
edit"Order" was released on the afore-mentioned 7" single.
A video was made for "In Theory", featuring Chopper Read and directed by Remo Camerota.[3] This was the band's first video. The song is the shortest on the EP at only 2:09, and is only the song on the EP that consists entirely of clean singing.
