Seattle post-hardcore band Engine Kid have dropped the visual for their song "Burban on Bladez" today.

The song stems from Engine Kid’s surprise EP titled Special Olympics, which was released on Southern Lord Records. The four-song EP features reworkings of unreleased songs from the band’s catalog. The band worked on this material before splitting in 1997. Drummer Jade Devitt said this about the release:

"The musical commitment and connection that we forged in the 90’s has held like a magnet, finally pulling us together after 26 years! The newly recorded songs were dusted off blueprints from our very last practice tapes from the summer of ’95. Now enhanced with experience & age and new arrangements. The Kid flies again."

Bassist Brian Kraft said this about the band’s recent reunion:

"Greg, Jade and I spent the summer and fall of 2020 gathering old photos, flyers, artwork and audio rehearsals /remixes/remasters for the Everything Left Inside box set. This remote reunion of the Kid made me realize how important Greg, Jade and Engine Kid was and is in my life. The reconnection led to recording some new material. It felt as if we were continuing right where we left off.”
