On September 5, 2017, during the Kickstarter campaign for the release of Rad Science, the band announced stretch goals after reaching their initial main funding objective. The first of said goals was the release of a free companion B-Sides EP that would contain cut tracks, acoustic versions, and remixes from the album.[11]

On August 24, 2018 via Eleventyseven's official podcast, Matt Langston debuted a re-envisioned version of "Appalachian Wine" off the band's 2012 Attack of the Mountain Medley EP and stated it was planned to be on the B-Sides release.[12][13] On September 7, 2018, all backers of the Rad Science project received access to the B-Sides EP with Eleventyseven announcing via social media that the release would be available to the public on September 28.[14]
