The Search Party Never Came EP by Vanna is the band's second release and their Epitaph Records debut. It was released on June 6, 2006.

The band decided to part ways with original lead vocalist Joe Bragel during the recording process of this album in February 2006. An alternate version of "That Champagne Feeling", which was put onto Epitaph's Winter 2006 Sampler, was recorded with Joe Bragel prior to his departure.

Guitarist Nicholas Lambert took over the screaming while Evan Pharmakis continued to handle the low growls and clean singing vocals. Though Joe can still be heard on parts of "Dead Language..." & "I Am The Wind...". Along with the choir and gang vocals.

It's also the last release with drummer Brandon Davis, who departed from the band later in 2008.
