Cyrus Bolooki, drummer for New Found Glory said, "Guitar Center's got a great idea here with Fresh Cuts, and we're happy to be a part of it. Not only does this compilation showcase some of the talent that's within the Guitar Center family, it also shows that the people who are helping you out in the stores actually understand what it's like to be a musician, as many of them are in bands just like the rest of us, working hard to get their music heard by the masses. It was great to see many different bands, different styles and genres represented, and the picks on this CD will definitely prove that."
