And by the way. There are no Singles, Albums, EPs, LPs any more. There are just "Releases". So there's no need to put "EP" on the end of your release title. It's not "Breach - Jack EP", It's "Breach - Jack". m'kay? Calling yourself "Various Artists" or "Unknown" isn't funny, it's just irritatingly bad SEO. Same goes for over-use of triangle characters.
