Sheppard released a five-track extended play of the same name on 17 August 2012 , with recording label Empire of Song , which was distributed by MGM . By September that year , they had performed at festivals in South Africa , London and United States . The EP peaked at No. 18 on the ARIA Singles Chart in July of the following year . Its lead track , " Let Me Down Easy " , was nominated for Best Independent Release at the ARIA Music Awards of 2013 . Its second track , " Hold My Tongue " , was issued as the group 's debut single in August but it did not reach the top 50 . All five tracks were produced by Stuart Stuart at Analog Heart Studios , and co-written by Amy , George & Bovino . Kat Hunter of '' The AU Review '' felt that the EP " serves up a delicious helping of pop goodness filled with danceable melodies , catchy sing-along lyrics in addition to light and perfectly whipped harmonies and group vocals " . The group played at the Sonic Bang Festival in Bangkok on 24 August 2013 , sharing the roster with Placebo , Pitbull , Far East Movement , Jason Mraz , and Owl City . The band appeared at Sullivan Hall in New York City on 18 October for the 2013 CMJ Music Marathon . On 1 December 2013 , they performed and presented an award at that year 's ARIA Music Awards . By that time , the band had enlisted Dean Gordon to replace Tredly on drums
