My Best Defense

My Best Defense is the third EP released by Single File, a rtrio based in Denver, Colorado, USA. It was the band's final independent release before signing to Reprise Records. When Single File's first radio single, "Zombies Ate My Neighbors", was released in September 2006,[1] My Best Defense was the band's only available record as previous EPs were out of print. Expecting the single, fans of the band purchased this EP, but the song didd not see a physical release until No More Sadface in 2007. Due to this discrepancy, "Zombies Ate My Neighbors" was heavily illegally downloaded with an estimated 10,000 downloads in one week.[1] The song "Velcro" from this EP was later be re-recorded and appeared on No More Sadface.
