Composition

"Lullaby" was originally a song by Mascherino's former group Breaking Pangaea, and "Terrible Things" was originally a song by The Color Fred, Mascherino's solo project. Originally called "Initials" the band later changed their name to "Terrible Things" as well as the album title, in addition to the song name. Lynam frontman Jacob Bunton has recorded the bass and piano on the album as the band didn't have a permanent bassist at the time.

Release

On April 26, 2010, "Revolution" was made available for streaming through the group's Myspace account.[2] The track was later released as a single on May 25.[3] On July 15, Terrible Things was announced for release in the following month. As part of this announcement, two songs were made available for streaming: "Wrap Me Up" through AbsolutePunk and "Lullaby" through Alternative Press. In July and August, the group performed a handful of dates on the Warped Tour. Terrible Things was released on August 31 through major label Universal Motown Records. The artwork features Mascherino's two children having a tea party with a dollhouse on fire behind them. He said it was representative of the arson incidents in Coatesville. In October and November, the group went on a US tour with Mae and Windsor Drive.[4] On November 19, a music video released for "Revolution",[5] directed by David Brodsky.[6] In late September and early October 2011, the band toured Australia as part of the Soundwave Counter-Revolution festival.[7]

gollark: <@154361670188138496> I mean, kind of. Thing is, OmniDisks\™ are basically only useful for getting around PotatOS sandboxing. So if they can't do that the disk is useless.This sort of "only useful in an environment you fully control" sandboxing is the only workable sort.

gollark: It also contains valid disk IDs for each UUID and disk IDs are unique to each disk and unspoofable.

gollark: The program *on* the disks downloads a license info JSON from the interweb when it runs. This contains the features each UUID is allowed to use.

gollark: The program I use to write and sign them also writes on a UUID, which is signed.

gollark: Basically, it can refuse to run unsigned or invalidly signed disks - you can run them elsewhere but having potatOS run them unsandboxed is the only real use.
