  • Creative Differences: Both Franny Griffiths and Yorkie had a serious falling out during the making of Suburban Rock 'n' Roll over the songs' keyboard arrangements, which was one of the factors behind the band calling it a day in 2005 and Yorkie not rejoining them for their reunion in 2011.
  • Development Hell / What Could Have Been: The album was intended to be released in early 2003 through Stephen Lironi's Mutant label, following on from "Zombies" which was released as a single in November the previous year. However, the label collapsed and after much searching around, the album was eventually picked up and released 18 months later through Randm.
    • The original artwork for the album was intended to show a suburban household from the point of view of a sniper's target, but the band lost the rights to the original photo due to complaints from the homeowner, and so a collage piece by Tommy Scott was used instead. It was also meant to use the "bullet-hole" logo featured on "Zombies" before reverting to the classic yellow logo.
    • A track called "All the Boys" was recorded early on in the Suburban Rock 'n' Roll sessions and was tipped to be the lead-off single for the album. However, the song ended up not making the cut and has not yet surfaced.
