=== ''The Hell You Say'' === Although initially self-released in 2001, Branan re-released his debut full-length album, ''The Hell You Say,'' on MADJACK Records on October 8, 2002. The rejuvenated album replaced three songs from the original issue with newbies "Skateland South" and "American Dream", in an effort to streamline the concept of the album.<ref name=Billboard-HellYouSay-2002>{{cite magazine|last1=Morris|first1=Chris|title=Declarations of Independents.
