"Raygun" was a five-song EP released by the Matthew Good Band in 1996 as a followup to their enormously popular indie release, Last of the Ghetto Astronauts. Distributed by A&M Records on Matthew Good's own imprint, Darktown, it was the first MGB album to include guitarist Dave Genn as a member of the band proper. The EP includes a newly-recorded version of "Haven't Slept In Years"; it is not the original version found on Last of the Ghetto Astronauts.
