Notes
- The EP is also known as Manafest Presents Stories Since Seventy Nine.[2]
- Most of the songs on the release were leftover softer pop tracks from Manafest's 2012 album Fighter.[5]
- The track "California" speaks about Chris Greenwood's move from Toronto to Los Angeles in 2012.[11]
- Though the EP itself was exclusive to Canada for a long length of time, the opening track, "Overboard", was released as a single globally on iTunes in July 2013.[7]
- Manafest himself stated the EP was not supposed to originally be exclusive to Canada, but due to legal issues regarding the record it was halted from a release in the United States.[12]
