Description
Several planes of existence collided on a fateful day at the beginning of the 21st century. Chaos and much suffering ensued, but out of the ashes came a band. This band would soon be known to end all suffering, stifle all hunger and thirst, and inspire a utopian society. It's too bad that at the same time that band was supposed to play their first show, a rift in the time-space continuum caused the members to be blinked out of existence and replaced by four random kids. The proxy band did their best, but continue to be a disappointment to all who knew the greatness the originals would have emitted. This is Backwards Alphabet. "They" "play" "music".

This is the 'single' version of Imaginary Friend. We added many layers of us shouting things over the breakdown to bring a more exciting feel.

The twelfth track on Show Me Yours, I'll Show You Mine. A Mind Control Song was called "Follow the Leader" in its demo phase, changed to just "Mind Control Song", and was renamed for the album so it could be last.
