The album was the last release to feature guitarist Chris Burt and the first to feature drummer Ryan Burt.
Background
"Poison Pen Letters" was re-recorded for Severed Ties, it originally appeared on the demo compilation, State of Affairs – a collection of tracks by hardcore bands from the five mainland states of Australia. "Love Is a Battlefield" is a cover of a track by Pat Benatar. Three tracks contained samples from feature films, however due to copyright restrictions, the then-active label of Boomtown was forced to remove them. The first few thousand copies printed of the album retained the samples: "I Heart Roberts'" contains one from the film, Hot Rod, "The Blair Snitch Project" had a sample from True Romance in its intro, and "Stairway to Hell" contains sound samples from Hot Rod and Happy Gilmore. The group's insider joke is in the initialism, "B.D.K.I.A.F.", which stands for "Big Dick Know It All Fuck"[citation needed]; while "Do You Party?" is a reference to a joke in Hot Rod.
