Previous to being signed the band gave away copies of their 6 track demo free of charge. Even before the band had played a single show, I Am Ghost had given away thousands of copies of their demo We Are Always Searching. When I Am Ghost signed to Epitaph Records after only their fourth show,[1] they added 3 new tracks, artwork and, on October 25, 2005, re-released it as an EP.
