this was taken from thestryder.com…..it may be a late april fools deal but i doubt it since its a week later and they arent real big jokers: "We may have to change the name of the band. Today we were served with a cease and desist order from another band called "Stryder". As some of you may remember, we used to be called Stryder, but this other band contacted us, and because they were around first, we changed our name to "THE Stryder". They were fine with the addition of "THE" to the name as a solution to the problem. Fast forward 3 years… These same guys who were okay with the change before have since changed their minds. It's some lame shit. We'll keep you posted." they also have a new EP coming out soon and an LP on EV this summer.
