Because You Were Lonely EP

This is considered to be the real begining of Pretty Polly. The songs were dark and compelling & a artistic step forward for what the band wanted to do. The front cover was taken by a digital camera and was later edited by Rob G. & his cousin John Novello. And yes, that's Stevie D. being used as our model again. There were 2 other cover concepts which appear on the inner sleeve of the cassette. The first was an obscure black & white photgraph of a women which was from a flyer Rob G. had for a punk show. The second was an idea by Steve of a hand-written letter with the words "i love you" repeated over & over. After decided on a third idea which ended up being used as the cover, the band decided to include their original concepts on the inner sleeve. This was also the only demo tape that contained a seperate lyric page. The multiple voices at the end of Enema were a last minute addition from Steve. After the track Blood Stained Lips, I Miss, there's a slight teaser for the song No Difference which would appear on the next Pretty Polly release. Shorty after it's completion, the band started working on the "Getting Over It" EP with newly recruited bassist Matt Campbell.
