Background

For the EP, lead vocalist Ash Costello said in an interview with Alternative Press, "We've taken what we have experienced in the past year and a half and poured it all into these new songs.... It’s something we know everyone can relate to it on their own level. The world can infect us with its negativity, and it’s ok to struggle with it. That’s truly what Epidemic is about.^[1] Owning the diseased parts of us and turning it into a strength."^[2]
