Chad Gilbert and Jordan Pundik switched duties to vocals and guitar, respectively. The remaining three members play the same instruments as in New Found Glory. All five members use pseudonyms rooted in hardcore and punk culture (bassist Ian Grushka's pseudonym of "Sgt. Soy" is a reference to both the prevalence of vegetarianism/veganism in hardcore and punk communities as well as his own vegetarianism [ [http://www.peta2.com/Outthere/o-iang.asp "Out There: Ian Grushka of New Found Glory."] Peta2.
