The EP will be released on CD and Digital on May 6th 2014. The EP will have five tracks on it and a three different secret tracks placed on selective CDs. The EP was recorded from December 2013 to April 2014 at Saturn Record's recording studio as well as Noel Houston's basement. During the band's tour with fellow Seattle band Aqua Manhattan, the band chose not to debut any of the EP's songs to keep the tracks a surprise to fans. Noel Houston mentioned the EP at several shows, stating it would feature a stronger punk sound with a heavy amount of synths. Noel Houston also stated that the EP will the be focus of their setlists until the album is released in July. The band is also planning on doing a small tour around Washington, Oregon, and Northern California for the EP. Tracklist: 1.Manifest Destiny 2.Nixonetics 3.50's Comics 4.Return from Venus 5.It Seems We've Stumbled Upon (Some Kind Of Planet) Saturn Records Interviews: Some Kind of Planet BK:Good evening, I'm Bryan Kobayashi, tonight, I have with me the phenomenal Space-Themed punk band: Some Kind of Planet. How are you guys tonight? NH:I'm great, I'm kind of drunk but great nonetheless. BK:Good, good, so you just got back from your tour with Aqua Manhattan; how was it? NH:It was awesome, Aqua Manhattan are some pretty rad dudes. LG:It was really cool seeing places we've never been to, meeting some really rad people, hanging out with Aqua Manhattan, it was all a blast! BK:I saw the stream from Boise, some pretty awesome stuff. Anyway, let's get to what everyone wants to hear about: the EP- NH: Oh god, haha. BK:Yep, we're taking about it. Anyway, describe the EP for me, please. AJ:It's like watching a space documentary with blaring punk as the background music. We have a lot of sample work and Moog synth goodness in it. ER:Imagine moshing on the moon. It's sort of like that. BK:I was not expecting that. Haha, I want to mosh on the fucking moon now. NH:I have a rocketship, let's all go. BK:Sounds fun, how about after the interview? So, are you planning a release party? NH:No, but the album release party is gonna be hella sweet. BK:Do you have any special allusions or meanings in your songs? JP:No, not really. Unless interplanetary relationships count. BK:Sure, why not. What was it like getting to use our studio for the first time? I wish I was in town for it. NH:You guys have some very good equipment, we were so happy to use it. BK:It's very nice equipment. What should listeners expect from your EP? ER:Expect to have an irresistible urge to go to space. JP:I think our listeners should expect something very different from our first album, we've kind of leaned more towards surf punk on this one. Think Man or Astroman with heavy amounts of synths. BK:Nice, I look forward to hearing it. Is your favorite track? NH:Return from Venus, I get to scream for that one. LG:Manifest Destiny, that one is funk-ay! JP:Return from Venus ER:It Seems We've Stumbled On, just to give fans a hint, it's fast! AJ:Nixonetics, it has a pretty sick disco feel to it BK:I absolutely love the track names, What gave you the inspiration? NH:Sci-fi, mostly. BK:Alright, fair enough. Thank you guys so fucking much for joining me, I can't wait to hear the EP. Remember, readers, it's May 6th, you can order it from our website or download it for five dollars or at any Some Kind of Planet show. Agin, thank you, Some Kind of Planet for being awesome and having this interview. NH:Anytime, we hope everyone enjoys our EP as much as we do.

The song starts out fast with a distorted synth with Jerry Pratt playing drum fills. The song quickly goes into the first verse, followed by the chorus. The song goes through a few verses and then dissolves into a slower tempo that builds up into a fast jam that has a similar sound to a dubstep drop. Lyrics: What did you? To set me up to my manifest destiny? What did I do to set you up to your obvious fate? Why didn't I realize you'd leave me? (I realized those were some real lies!) Why did you lie to me like you did Today I learned not to take things that weren't mine But you kept on stealing my heart. You also took away my love for you. Why didn't I realize you'd leave me (I realized those were some real lies!) Why did you lie to me like you did? Why didn't I realize you'd leave me (I realized those were some real lies!) Why did you lie to me like you did? Ahhhhhhhhhhh (Ohhhhhhh whoa whoa) Ahhhhhhhhhhh (Ohhhhhhh whoa whoa)

The song is a slow song, but a dance track nonetheless. It stays consistant in the tempo and contains a guitar solo. Last night I dreamt I died with my rationality out of place and my teeth missing. I woke up alive but I lost myself in the blankets Called my best friend He told me to leave him alone Every time I dream I die, I wake up in strange places Or repremended by unfamiliar faces I guess it's time for me to grow up. Every time I dream I die, I wake up in strange places Or repremended by unfamiliar faces. I guess they're familiar, I took them to hell and back Except hell is my house. Nothing makes sense Nothing makes sense I'll just blame it on my childish nature Nothing makes sense Nothing makes sense What the fuck am I doing with my life Sitting in bed or pretending I'm an astronaut It's more productive than I once though Every time I die, I wake up in strange places Or repremended by unfamiliar faces I guess it's time for me to grow the fuck up.

The song is a fast three minute song containing a hook that Noel screams. The song also contains fast punk-style drumming in it. Don't say yes Don't say no Let your actions speak louder than your words Cut off your limbs Jump off your roof Or maybe just return to Venus Let your feet burn off It's not really that hot if you put ice on it Let's kill some time Let's kill ourselves Ahhhhhhh I crash landed straight into your heart I find that hard to believe I think it was just Venus Maybe it's because you're so hot. We were born to kill, whole races of alien species All while holding hands It seemed perfect Until we landed on Venus The heat killed me on contact You rushed me back into the ship and got the fuck out of there Just when it seemed like I was dead for good, we returned to Venus Falling asleep with cruise control on We all though it was an auto pilot Then we crashed! Ahhhhhhh I crash landed straight into your heart I find that hard to believe I think it was just venus Maybe it's because your so hot.

I'm actually loving the lyrics and the sounds. It's not what I'd normally listen to but it's a beautiful thing to discover new music right? So far track twoooo is my favorite, I do that all the time; "Nothing makes sense/I'll just blame it on my childish nature" and I'm ready for the last track :O OOC: Nice job on all the songs and the rp in general. Kudos to trying and I can tell you're really trying your hardest :)

Yeah, about the fifth track, we kind of had a major mastering fuck up with it on the website. We put some extra synth noises in it and the master fucked it up so we had to redo it. It's gonna be up today.
