Online scavenger hunt

Relient K held an online scavenger hunt for tracks that were cut from The Bird and the Bee Sides. The clues lead to "Hope For Every Fallen Man", "Where Do I Go ", and "Between You and Me". Two more songs are intended to be released some time for the scavenger hunt, and were announced to be the demo of "I'm Lion-O" from the band's 1998 demo album All Work & No Play and the unreleased demo of "Sadie Hawkins Dance".
