It was available from their online store[1] and from iTunes. It has been featured as single of the week on the iTunes Store.

A video has been made for this single, which is viewable on the band's website.[2] The song has since been re-recorded and was included on Enter Shikari's debut album, Take to the Skies. When performed live, a dubstep intro, known as Motherstep, is played along with the song.
