Brett created this band after leaving BR. They only ever released a single with two songs: "Hate You", written for and about Jay, and "Rules, Hearts". Brett: "This is my creative outlet. It's not my business. It's something I do to keep my sanity. I'm not a rock star. I'm a record company owner". He wrote some material and said the first album would be out in 1998. The whole project came to a halt with Brett's problems with drugs and was finally abandoned for good when Brett re-joined Bad Religion in 2001. As to what happened to the songs he wrote for the Daredevils, I have no idea. In 1997 he said he was very happy with the new material and that it was much more hardcore than the single, truly in the spirit of old BR. In 2002 Brett was asked about the motivation for Hate You (about Jay Bentley, with whom he had a business-related argument that was Brett's excuse for quitting Bad Religion in 1994) and he replied that "That was uncool of me. I was being bitter."
The flyers, ads, the single, the stickers, labels etc. for The Daredevils, mention that Brett is the former BR guitarist.
BR used to play the Daredevils' two-song CD single before shows, between sets and after shows during some of the latest Gray Race concerts.
