It has been over 12 years since we put out the album Exploding Head Syndrome. That album was an important milestone for us. Positive impacts the album had for us include:
-Marked our very first full length album recorded in a professional studio environment
-Contained the song "Sharktopus" which is to date, our most successful song in the realm of YouTube views, with 10+ million.
-Contained "Avada Kedavra" - our Steve Goodie collaboration which has 2+ million views, and won a Logan Award
-Contained "Raichu a Song" - which was the #1 song on The Dr. Demento Show in 2010.
-Musically hinted at the psychedelic wackiness to come, with more musical experimentation happening
It was also our final album to contain song parodies.

For some Nuclear Bubble Wrap fans, this album is a nostalgic, comfort listen. Others find it to be tacky and immature, with its naïve and lowbrow humor. But it can't be denied that the album is important to the band's history, and is a cornerstone of the sound they are known for today.



12 years later, Needlejuice Records has decided to give this long out-of-print album a retrospective 4-CD box set treatment, with a complete remaster by Angel Hair Audio, and all of the bonus content that could be dug out of the archives from this era of the band. With this box set, you will receive the entire contents of the 2009-2012 releases from the band, warts 'n all: You Are What You Eat, Exploding Head Syndrome, and Abracadaver, plus all of the non-albums studio recordings of the time, a wealth of demos, live recordings, unreleased home recordings, and the first ever release of an experimental lo-fi album called Graze the Skylines, which was recorded at the same time as Exploding Head Syndrome and was a true foreshadowing of the musical direction to come.

This track is one of the many odds and ends available on this collection: an unreleased cover of Worm Quartet's "Vampire Penguins" - recorded purely for fun with no intended release whatsoever.
