Single file my best defense


My Best Defense is the third EP released by the Denver, Colorado based trio Single File. This album was the band's final independent release before getting signed to Reprise Records. When Single File's first radio single, "Zombies Ate My Neighbors," was released in September 2006 My Best Defense was the band's only available record as previous EPs had gone out of print. Expecting the single, fans of the band purchased this EP; however the song would not see a physical release until No More Sadface in 2007. Due to this discrepancy, "Zombies Ate My Neighbors" was heavily illegally downloaded with an estimated 10,000 downloads in one week. The song "Velcro" from this EP would also later be re-recorded and featured on No More Sadface.
