This self-titled EP is the debut release by The Cops. Released in 2004, this 5-track EP introduced the band's raw, energetic sound that would later define their full-length albums.

== Critical reception == The EP received positive reviews from Australian music press, praising its "ferocious garage-punk energy and biting social commentary". The release helped establish The Cops as part of Australia's burgeoning punk revival scene in the early 2000s.<ref>{{Cite journal |date=2021 |title=Life Makes Echoes: Dance-Punk Dubbed in the Post-Punk Revival |url=https://doi.org/10.5040/9781501381898.ch-003 |journal=Dance-Punk |pages=67–100 |doi=10.5040/9781501381898.ch-003|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
