Quit Limp Bizkit

After achieving mainstream success and popularity with Limp Bizkit , Wes Borland quit the band in 2001. He was already a member of Big Dumb Face , a project he had been working on with his brother Scott , during his time with Limp Bizkit. He set it aside after his departure from Limp Bizkit and began working on several different projects, the first of which was supposed to be an instrumental album one could listen to and simply relax. Simultaneously, he began Eat The Day, with Scott Borland . Eat The Day eventually unraveled itself, as, in Borland’s words, “I think everybody involved in that project had different ideas about the direction that it should go” . Borland became self-absorbed, and along with continuous pressure from the label, and struggles finding a lead singer for the band, the project eventually disbanded.
