It was done as a "thank you" for the support of Rufio's growing fan base This EP is also an enhanced CD with photos and footage of Rufio on the roftd and their performances of "Why Wait?", "Set It Off", and "Don't Hate Me." There is nothing new in the style of these songs, just the usual slick, fast melodic punk sound you are used to. My only complaint is its length. These songs would have served Rufio bet- ter if they were on a bonus disc packaged with the new album which will be released spring 2003.
