“By the time we recorded this album, The Blamed had finished the Frail record and was on hiatus. I actually had shows booked and had to fulfill them as Left Out and play some Blamed songs. I was living in Ohio and filling in for the band Six Feet Deep on bass and Jake Landrau (from The Blamed album 21) was writing songs with me again. So we asked Myk Porter from Six Feet Deep to play guitar. I knew he really wanted to play guitar in a band (just not this band). By the time we went to record the album we asked Jesse Smith to play drums on the album. Ae went to Nashville and recorded in Steve Taylor's sound guys' garage with Chris Colbert engineering and Klank producing. Klank was also filling in with Six Feet Deep at the time on guitar - it was rad. This album is a hot mess in all the right ways.” - Bryan Gray

“Greatest Hits was supposed to be released on vinyl. It's the same line up from Pride Kills. We tracked 4 cover songs: a Monkees song, a Chatterbox song, a Circle of Dust song, and the Bay City Rollers. I'm not sure this was a great idea, but we did it and Mike from The Huntingtons sent me a copy so here it is.” - Bryan Gray

“SERVE SELF was the follow up to pride kills, I had moved back to California and I had been playing shows with new line up Brent Kaping on bass and various drummers filling in, live we had played with Jim Chaffin from the blamed and toured with Jacob Christiansen from sometime sunday on drums, we went to Neverland Studios in Nashville and recorded with Chris Colbert engineering and Steve Hindalong helping to produce the vocals, Jim played drums and Jacob played a bunch of lead guitars. A bunch of our friends came out from Texas and Oklahoma, I think this record has a production vibe like nothing I have ever done” - Bryan Gray

“xSxAxLxEx was originally recorded for a boot to head records comp, that label doesn't get enough credit for being a true underground christian label that was instrumental to the christian punk scene, it was so rad to be a part of their comp. Also this song is a duet with one21, probably one of the most rock and roll songs I have ever recorded.” - Bryan Gray

“RECOMMENDED IF YOU LIKE is the 4th left out record, in the blamed/left out timeline we had merged the two bands in what would become the second wave of the blamed (as Jesse from the satire calls it), after all of it's touring I was getting an occasional offer to do a left out show, I was playing with Jeff Locke and Donnie Anderson, so we wrote and recorded and self released a limited number of this record on CD, some people have told me over the years that this is their favorite left out record. I hope you enjoy it.” - Bryan Gray
