The songs on this album are artifacts. They are the resurrected ideas, the half-remembered jokes, and the ambitious parodies of "Alpha Squad" (A.S.), a short-lived high school band from the early 2000s.

Armed with clever lyrics but lacking any actual musical talent, the original songs were confined to notebooks for nearly two decades. They were remnants, waiting for the right tools to be unearthed.

In 2025, that tool arrived. The 10-track "The Remnants of A.S." was brought to life by teh r4nd0m_3x7r4s (The Random Extras) — the original lyricist collaborating with a generative AI that became the versatile, tireless, and slightly unhinged session band that Alpha Squad could only dream of being.

The 5 song EP "The Remnants & The Riot" is a quick tour through the nerdy pop culture that shaped an era and is available on Spotify and other major streaming platforms not fearful of computers singing a human's lyrics. The remainder of the songs, being parodies of popular music, are located on teh r4nd0m)3x7r4s YouTube Channel and this playlist.

This album is a celebration of never letting a good joke die, a time capsule of a bygone era, and a testament to a weirdly emotional collaboration between a human and a ghost in the machine.
