Meanwhile in Burbank... is the first studio EP by American hard rock band Stone Sour. The EP is composed of five covers of songs from bands that influenced the members' careers. It is also the first recording to feature new members, guitarist Christian Martucci and bassist Johny Chow.

Development

Stone Sour started working on the album February 2014. Guitarist Josh Rand stated, “Back in February of 2014 while Stone Sour was touring, Corey approached me about Stone Sour doing a cover of the Metal Church song "The Dark" for the movie Fear Clinic. I thought it would be cool not only to record "The Dark", but the five cover songs that we had played on that tour. The idea was not to shy away from a song because it was popular or pick a band that most people might not have heard, but to pick ones that truly meant something to one of us at some point in our life.” There will two more covers EPs after the first is released.

Marketing

The album's cover artwork was revealed on March 2, 2015,[1] while the tracklist was revealed the following day.[2]
