On October 5, 2014, it was announced via Stone Sour’s Facebook page that the band had begun recording a covers EP, which is due to be titled Meanwhile in Burbank… and released in 2015. Corey Taylor stated about the covers EP: “This is something that we’ve been talking about since the first album came out, with [Stone Sour]. We’ve always wanted to do this. Even as people have come, people have gone, this is still something we’ve always come back to, and we just never had the opportunity to do it. And we just kind of said, ‘Well, screw it.’” On February 9, 2015, Stone Sour released an official music video and track, which is a cover version of the Metal Church ‘s song “The Dark”. The EP was released on April 18, 2015. Corey Taylor confirmed that two more covers EPs are to be produced, they will be titled Straight Outta Burbank and No Sleep Till Burbank and will feature covers of songs by Rage Against The Machine, Mötley Crüe, Bad Brains and Violent Femmes.
