in January 2006 at Nada Recording Studios. The band partially self-produced the record, alongside producer John Naclerio. The debut EP was titled Runaway World, in reference to the band's song "Runaway World". The original release contained eight tracks and was released on April 11, 2006. The EP was released in Japan through Radtone Music on November 8, 2006. The Japanese version was noted as a full album, as it contained three additional tracks, "Hurry Up and Wait", "Don't Look Back" (previously from My First Demo! in 2005) and an acoustic version of "Roses and Butterflies". It was later re-issued in the USA on May 30, 2007, containing only two extra tracks "Hurry Up and Wait" and an acoustic version of title track "Runaway World". On July 28, 2007, Making April played a showcasing show for labels Universal Records, Atlantic Records, Virgin Records, MySpace Records and Capitol Records, before eventually signing a contract with Universal. Making April released a new song on their Myspace soon after the signing of their "singles deal", a demo titled "Wide Awake". The signing with Universal Republic enabled the band to produce one single. A re-recorded version of "These Are the Nights", which had previously been selected for usage on MTV's Laguna Beach, was released to radio in early 2008. The single was recorded by producer David Bendeth, who has previously worked with Paramore, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Vertical Horizon. It was posted on Myspace in conjunction with the radio release. Debut album Making April recorded their debut full-length album with producer Adam Richman, at the end of summer 2008. Throughout the entire month of June 2008, to "celebrate writing their debut album", the band gave away their debut EP for free through Myspace. They began recording in August, with the album originally due out "November, early December" of 2008. It was later announced and confirmed that the album would be released on March 3, 2009, and titled The Egg Hunt. Live In early 2008, the band supported rock artist Secondhand Serenade with Rookie of the Year, Automatic Loveletter and White Tie Affair, on a two-month national tour of the United States. During live shows, the band has been known to use digital string tracks, with the Apple computer program GarageBand, to create a closer sound to their recorded songs. The band performed on the Howard Stern show during a segment called "cockyoke". Members Current Sean
