'Attacking the beat' was the only other track and it can be found on Amazon.

"While some time-tested punk pioneers were covered (the Stooges with "TV Eye," the MC5 with "Shakin' Street," etc.), there are quite a few lesser known tunes that were tackled as well, including "Your Generation" by Generation X, "Borstal Breakout" by Sham 69, "Attacking the Beat" by the Suicide Commandos and "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" by the Dead Kennedys.... According to Pirner, at least one non-punk tune was included, featuring a special guest. "I do have [the Meat Puppets'] Curt Kirkwood playing on a song – 'Move Me on Down the Line' by ZZ Top."

So, in list form that is:

Shakin' Street
Love Will Tear Us Apart
Your Generation
Attacking the Beat
TV Eye
Borstal Breakout
Nazi Punks Fuck Off
Move Me On Down the Line

The only reference from the time of the EP release that I could find to Sonic Reducer was a comment about them playing it (and other punk songs) when the band started in the 1980s.

One of the reasons this never got released had something to do with them splitting with their old manager Wes. I think Dave said in an interview somewhere "oh, that was our old manager's project" or something to that effect. I don't remember clearly.

You're welcome Lance and thanks Alyssa. Around this time they played Teenage Kicks (with Dan on vocals). Into Your Arms became a setlist regular then too. Who knows if they got recorded in studio too.
