Creeper is the self-titled debut extended play (EP) by English horror punk band Creeper. Recorded at The Ranch Production House in Southampton with producer Neil Kennedy, it was originally released independently as a digital download on 19 June 2014, before it was later issued on limited edition 12" vinyl by Palm Reader Records on 8 December 2014. "Gloom" and "VCR" were released as music videos.
Written primarily by vocalist Will Gould and guitarist Ian Miles (with two tracks co-written by second guitarist Sina Nemati), Creeper's debut EP was recorded shortly after the band's formation in 2014. The EP received positive reviews from music critics, who praised it as a strong example of modern punk rock and a promising debut from the band, as well as comparing its sound to that of Alkaline Trio and AFI.
After forming in early 2014, Creeper recorded their debut EP at The Ranch Production House in their hometown of Southampton with producer and engineer Neil Kennedy. The EP was self-released by the band as a digital download on the website Bandcamp on 19 June 2014, and was later made available for streaming on the Kerrang! website in July. Following its digital release, Creeper was issued as a limited edition 12" vinyl on 8 December 2014 by Palm Reader Records limited to 300 copies – 100 on "Creeper Purple" vinyl and 200 on black vinyl. The EP was written primarily by vocalist Will Gould and guitarist Ian Miles, with second guitarist Sina Nemati co-writing "We Had a Pact" and "Gloom".
In promotion of the EP, a music video for "Gloom" was released on 3 September 2014. The track was also included on the Rock Sound compilation Rock Sound 100% Volume #192, released in October. The first music video was followed in January 2015 by a video for "VCR", which was filmed "in the heart of [the] Leicestershire countryside". Both videos were produced by the company Rolling Vision. "VCR" was also later made available as a free download from the Kerrang! website as part of the magazine's #KerrangFreshBlood feature.
