"The Bled" is a self-titled EP by Post-Hardcore band The Bled. It was a one-sided 12" vinyl record, with four songs on it, released in 2002 by Ambit Records. It was a small DIY release, without an attempt to sell it. Production was limited to only 666 copies, 100 of which were on translucent blood-red vinyl. They have spray-painted on album art and hand written numbers. It was recorded before current singer James Munoz joined the band.

Content Confusion

While originally meant to just be a self-titled album, "The Bled" has received a few other names as well. Some people call it "The untitled album" or vinyl, or "the one-sided album" or vinyl. Contrastingly, both the Pass the Flask (Reissue) booklet and the Vagrant website calls it the "Ambulance Romance EP", from the name of the first song on the album. ["Pass the Flask (Reissue)", (2007), "The Bled, notes from:" booklet. Vagrant Records, VR457.] [ [http://www.vagrant.com/release/details/129 The Bled - Pass the Flask (Reissue)] . Vagrant Records. Retrieved on March 5, 2007]

Since the back of the sleeve is blank, the track names are considered a mystery by some. While the song "Ambulance Romance" was remade and rewritten with new lyrics into "I Don't Keep With Liars Anymore" on Found in the Flood.
