Interviews
- <@amp1312> What is the meaning behind the title of your upcoming album, "Signs of Life"?
...
<@POTF_Mark> The signs of life are all around us in all the smallest things to the grand openings... our album holds some of them... those dearest to us...
Trivia
- The album's copyright statement ends with "and don't forget to brush your teeth..."
- On the Facebook page of the band in a comment it is clearly stated that the title Signs of Life is not a reference to the Pink Floyd-instrumental of the same name released in 1987, it is "merely a coincidence".[10]
