This EP sold on Japanese label SP Records. Ben Weasel of Screeching Weasel and the Riverdales completed the sequencing on both of these releases.

After the release of Melodic Tardcore, Australian radio station Triple J played tracks from the CD on the short.fast.loud show.[3] Radio announcer Stu Harvey wrote "Simple fast melodic punk rock played in the vein of The Ramones and Screeching Weasel, love it! Batfoot! is the best thing I've heard on Unearthed in 2009."
