lyrics

Along with Dr. P & the J-Man, Archie and I recorded a demo of this song to send to WMRE when we were asked to play on one of their radio shows. This song is based off Archie's insane bass abuse that opens the song, and consistently stays in 6/8 throughout. This is one of the first songs we wrote after Trevor left the band.

In the middle of the song we slow down to a different tempo, and the dotted eighth notes of the original tempo become the eighth notes of the new tempo. The tempo change during the bridge was my idea and is a nod to Honestly? by American Football, where they do a similar change.

This song was originally supposed to be called "Sulk Hogan" after an old band name Archie joked about using, but was renamed to The B-Side after we were would make it the B-side to a single if we were ever going to release one.
