Mimicry And Memories is a two-disc collection of specially selected covers and rarities, released to fans in March 2015. The compilation was funded through the band’s second successful KickStarter campaign in 2014. In response to the great reception for the campaign; raising over double in its intended $30,000 goal, 3 extra cover songs were added – decided on through a poll vote by those who backed the project.

The first disc: ‘Mimicry’, features new recordings of covers specifically chosen by each band member, as well as fan pledges who requested a song of their choosing. The second disc is titled ‘Memories’ and features a mix of unreleased songs, demos and hard-to-find recordings from over the years (In the same style as 2007′s Sexy Trash compilation) The Mimicry tracks were recorded during the album sessions for [[Human Zoo]] and this is the last release to feature bassist Smorgasbord (Keith Thompson), who left the band after the band’s ‘Do It For Love’ tour ended in March 2015.
