+The Blamed is a Christian hardcore punk band currently based out of Chicago, Illinois. The Blamed are known for their diverse range of styles they have played throughout the years, giving them their own unique sound. During their tenure, they have played primarily hardcore punk, pop punk, punk rock, and emo music with some influences from metal as well. They originally are from California having relocated to Illinois after guitarist Bryan Gray moved to Chicago. The band originally formed in 1994 and disbanded in 2003. Members during this era of the band included Bryan Gray, Christopher Wiitala, Trevor Wiitala, Jeff Locke, Jim Chaffin, John Hansen, and Matt Switaj. They released three albums with [[Tooth & Nail Records]] (//21// in 1996, //Frail// in 1996, and //Give Us Barabbas// in 2002) and four albums with [[Grrr Records]] (//...Again// in 1998, //Forever// in 1999, //Germany// in 2000, and //Isolated Incident// in 2001). The Band reformed in the summer of 2016 to play a one off set at Audio Feed music festival. This has since lead to the band reforming and recording a Split EP with the Chicago hardcore band The Satire, a band sharing multiple members with the Blamed. The Split EP was released in November 2018 through Indie Vision Music.
 Bryan Gray and other members of The Blamed were involved with [[Left Out]] as well.

+"So I think the release of this song is one of those classic bad decisions, I mean releasing the song wasn't a bad decision, NOT releasing the song on the album was the bad decision. Then deciding to put it on the comp CD that T&N releases to the world to showcase it's artist was an even worse decision. I think my "get out of jail free card" on this one was that I was trying to let the other guys (Matt) make this call. And ironically I knew better, as if history within the T&N culture hadn't already shown me this was a bad idea, for example, [[Crux]] //Failure to Yield// is one of my top 10 releases on the label, they released the one song their bass player Andy sang in the same context, if that was your intro to Crux, the rest of the record sounded nothing like this, I remember the guys saying that people heard them on that comp and then bought the record and complained it was totally different. Luckily we never received this kind of feedback. I also understand Matt's thought process, we had at that point released a maxi single from our previous record with Computer Club records with some B side material and that went really well. So anyways, Chris is a great singer and musician and it is great to hear this song featuring his voice." - Bryan Gray
