Blaze of Glory, the first Game Theory album, had been out of print for decades. It was finally reissued in 2014, with the album’s original 12 tracks augmented by 15 bonus cuts: four from leader Scott Miller’s days as Alternate Learning and 11 straight from his archives. Miller died in 2013; his recordings with Game Theory and the Loud Family are considered seminal California alternative pop-rock. Recorded in his old bedroom at his parents’ house in Sacramento, the album represents the purest spirit of the D.I.Y. movement, where no one waited for recording contracts to start making records.
