NOTES
A single from the year between the self-titled album and Belong. The summer of 2010, the Summer Of Say No To Love, was a time of continued touring from Pains,during which they added new songs to their live shows. Interestingly, the B-side of Say No To Love, Lost Saint, was seemingly not played. The A-side was retired when the band began the Days Of Abandon tour in 2014.

The Say No To Love 7", released digitally in many territories and as a 3-track CD in Australia, named Christoph Hochheim as an additional guitarist in its credits. Christoph toured with the band from 2009-2011 and has joined again from 2014-present, sometimes just as a live player and other times, such as on these two tracks, in the studio as well.

One territory which didn't get the Say No To Love single was Japan. The two songs were released as bonus tracks on the self-titled album there instead of appearing on their own.
