Mixed and mastered in Helsinki, it was later released by Sedvex Records for Slovenia and by American Cauldron Soundwerx and Swedish Playground Music BAM labels for distribution abroad. Notably, they were featured in the BBC Introducing with Gary Crowley, where their ''The Dandy Song'' was introduced. Besides having two promotional gigs in Finland, for now Toronto Drug Bust has mostly played at different venues and festivals in Slovenia.
