The single was released on 22 August 2013[1] and was accompanied by a music video which was played by Kerrang! TV to help promote it.[2] In October, the song had charted in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at 39, making it the band's first charting single.[3] Once the single had been released, the EP of the same name was announced the same day and had been up for pre-order.[1]
The EP was well received by critics. Rock Sound praised its catchy-ness and its range of different sounds, from heavy rock of the featured single to the relaxing acoustic songs, and called it a positive successor to Priorities.[4] Electric Banana applauded its very catchy groove with "tongue-in-cheek" lyrics, and stated that it was consistent with their last album.[5]The Guardian called the album's sound a mixture of Busted and Biffy Clyro. The review continued to complement its blend of "snarling power chords and aggressive strobes" along with the lyrics and dynamic screams.[6]
