This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For

About

"This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For" is the first EP by British rock band Bring Me the Horizon. It was released on 25 September 2004, through Thirty Days of Night Records in Australia and on 30 January 2005, through Visible Noise Records in the UK. The Visible Noise re-issue features a slightly altered artwork. In early 2004, prior to being signed, the band created a 6-track collection of demo recordings. The artwork, which was handmade by vocalist Oliver Sykes, included the name of the EP's title though it's not clear if that was also the finalized title of the demo release. Some of these songs went under different titles and were reworked for the EP, though others were abandoned completely. "This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For" was released on 25 September 2007 in the US through Earache Records. The original pressing, on Thirty Days of Night Records, was a strict run of only 1,000 copies. Its title comes from the first line of lyrics found in the track "Traitors Never Play Hang-Man.". According to an interview with the band, "Traitors Never Play Hang-Man." was originally two different songs. One being "Traitors Never Play Hang-Man", and the other called "We Are All Movie Stars". They played them live one after another to begin with but after a while they decided to join the two songs together into one. The EP initially had its work being done with this song being two separate songs wherein the EP would be a five-track release that would include the songs: "Who Wants Flowers When You're Dead? Nobody", "Dagger", "Passe Compose", "Traitors Never Play Hang-man." and "We Are All Movie Stars". The artwork was different as well, with the cover featuring the band's logo with a sparrow in the corner of the cover standing about a bottle of leaking love hearts.
