The recordings were originally released as videos credited to Chad Fischer with the first being "[[A Life of Illusion]]" originally by [[Joe Walsh]]. {{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkgE7YR6zZU|title= A Life Of Illusion (Joe Walsh) |publisher= youtube.com | date=18 April 2020|accessdate=2021-11-01}}

The first song which was credited to Lazlo Bane was a re-recording of "[[Superman (Lazlo Bane song)|Superman]]", released in May 2020.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAAt5FFRdgc |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211215/uAAt5FFRdgc |archive-date=2021-12-15 |url-status=live|title=I'm No Superman (QC)|publisher=youtube.com|date=May 11, 2020|accessdate=2021-03-27}}{{cbignore}} The video featured a number of guest appearances including ''[[Scrubs (TV series)|Scrubs]]'' stars [[Zach Braff]] and [[Neil Flynn]].{{cite web|url=https://x.com/VDOOZER/status/1260041184639979520
