When The Ship Goes Down EP is the second official release by the Australian indie band The Holidays.[1] It was released on 11 October 2008, less than 6 months after the release of their debut EP. Recorded with Wayne Connolly, When The Ship Goes Down is essentially a concept EP "about the decline of relationships and the thrill when one catches you by surprise".[2]

As explained by Alex Kortt, "the reason for doing the two EPs was to do with giving people a good snapshot of where we’re at musically. Not only that, but to really make sure that before we do an album we know exactly the direction we want to take. I mean as far as where we were at mentally we probably just weren’t at the stage where we wanted to do an album just yet."[3]

The lead single off this EP was "Mexico" which a music video was also made for. It received regular airplay on national youth radio station Triple J.
