Out of the 15 tracks, 8 were decided to be turned into singles, with each single having a separate new song as a B-side. These B-sides are to be compiled in an EP titled ''[[The Thirst B-Sides]]''. The remaining tracks from the main album will also technically be released as singles, but labelled as "promo releases", with remixes of themselves serving as their B-sides, not entirely new songs. Additionally, bonus tracks are included on certain releases, such as "[[A Thirst Quenched]]" appearing on the ''B-sides'' compilation EP, and "[[Where Is Clover?]]" appearing on the single release of "[[Seabreeze]]". | Out of the 15 tracks, 8 were decided to be turned into singles, with each single having a separate new song as a B-side.

=== March 2026 rebrand (2026–present) === | |||
The band was fully rebranded from "Neon and the Argie Bees" to "The Neoclassics" in March 2026, to separate it from NeonWabbit's "[[Argie Bee]]" gaming, software, and technology brand. The name was chosen as it was unique, tongue-in-cheek (originally, the rebrand was going to be to "The New Classics", which was intended to be ironic as you new and classic are antonyms of each other, but it was discovered there are three existing bands already registered with that name in various countries), and still references "Neon" in some way with the first three letters. | |||
The first release under The Neoclassics name will be a cover of Talking Heads' "[[List of The Neoclassics cover songs|Burning Down the House]]". | |||
