Griffin left the Unclaimed in November 1981, along with band’s bassist Barry Shank, to form the nascent Long Ryders, adding Greg Sowders on drums and, after a period of searching, guitarist Stephen McCarthy. Shank resigned from the band to pursue a doctoral degree after a year, and British Des Brewer took over on bass in time for the Long Ryders’ debut EP, 10-5-60 (1983). Tom Stevens then replaced Brewer and joined Griffin, Sowders and McCarthy for the Long Ryders’ Native Sons (1984), the band’s first full-length album on Frontier Records, and two subsequent major label releases, State of Our Union (1985) and Two-Fisted Tales (1987), on Island Records. The Long Ryders broke up in December 1987. In January 2016, the European label Cherry Red Records released a four-CD box set, Final Wild Songs, comprising the band’s original three full-length albums, their one EP, various rarities and demos, and a 15-song live Benelux radio performance. The label also put out expanded, multi-disc versions in 2018 of State of Our Union and Two-Fisted Tales.
