Formation
The band formed at Tomfest 1995 and was a side project of the Blamed's Bryan Gray. For their debut album, Pride Kills (1996), alongside Chris Colbert (Breakfast with Amy), Darren Diolosa (aka Klank), and Jesse Smith (Zao). Despite its members diverse influences, its sound most closely resembled that of the Blamed, the Crucified, nobody special. The band recorded a second album on flying tart entitled serve self, this was recorded at neverland studios in nashville. The record featured bassist Brent Kaping (Craig's Brother, the Yax), Jim Chaffin (crucified) on drums, and guest performances by jacob (sometime Sunday) on lead guitar, chris colbert (lead guitar), tracy street (sang) Jonathan (sang "i grind my teeth at night), and cleetus adrian (maintenance man) sang too. Serve Self was recorded by chris colbert again and assisted by steve hindalong (choir). left out recorded a third full length after bryan moved to chicago entitled for the working class. FTWC featured bryan and brent again, and greg jacques (crashdog) on drums. There was a ton of guests, notably Tim Davis (Spike Nard from crashdog).
Shortly after the release of FTWC left out toured extensively in support of the record, the live line up featured bryan, Jason Seiler and Chris and Trevor Wiitala. The did and extensive national tour with Ghoti Hook and the smiley kids. Following this tour it was time for the blamed and left out to merge. Matt Switaj from the blamed who had toured with left out as well, Bryan Gray, merged with the Wiitala brothers and played for years under the name the blamed. They had a meeting to decide to merge and they voted on what name to keep and bryan was the only one who voted for left out (I loved the concept). Basically this was the end of left out. They've played a few shows under the name performing old songs from left out and the blamed's 1st two albums. They did a handful of dates in europe after the end. Bryan says he'll play a left out show again, but no one really cares anymore, "we've been forgotten."
There is some various songs that were recorded for various comps, the boot to head records one is the best as it features one21.

Famous quotes containing the word formation:
“The formation of an oppositional world view is necessary for feminist struggle. This means that the world we have most intimately known, the world in which we feel “safe” ... must be radically changed. Perhaps it is the knowledge that everyone must change, not just those we label enemies or oppressors, that has so far served to check our revolutionary impulses.”
—Bell (c. 1955)
“... the mass migrations now habitual in our nation are disastrous to the family and to the formation of individual character. It is impossible to create a stable society if something like a third of our people are constantly moving about. We cannot grow fine human beings, any more than we can grow fine trees, if they are constantly torn up by the roots and transplanted ...”

“It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.”
