- Bride Of The Devil
- Daddy’s Boy
- How Dare You
- She’s Guatemalan
- Bite Me
- Mr. Woman
- Dance Pattern
- Lenny Kravitz
Kickstarter backers can look at various packages which include the physical and digital media, as well as posters, a photo-book and White Wolf’s suit and guitar pedals, which have already gone.
There will also be a third year of the subscription club for fans and a third karaoke disc of the following tracks:
- Infected Girls
- Slices Of You
- I Buy The Drugs
- Dirty Ball
- Escape From Ohio
- Clusterfuck
- Free Samples
- Kids Are Evil
- Arrive Alive
- How Dare You
- Bride Of The Devil
- Daddy’s Boy
