Sincerely Paul’s music was a brooding mix of the alterna-rock and goth sound popularized by The Violet Burning and L.S.U., with the late 80’s synth-pop of The Cure and Depeche Mode. Although this style of music was pretty innovative for Christian music at the time and Grieve was criticaly acclaimed by the market’s then-fledgling alternative and goth scenes, the album and band were overlooked by most major labels and publications and faded into obscurity after Blonde Vinyl Records folded in late 1992.

Members of Sincerely Paul went on to form bands like Slide, Big Ox Laughing, and Laughing Stock. Recently a few members of Sincerely Paul purchased the rights to their Blonde Vinyl album and re-issued it with a bonus disc. Slide was also recently resurrected as a full band that released an album called Auto Tune Massacre. A few left-over Sincerely Paul songs were updated for that album. SLIDE then decided to change their name to Dime Store Zombies.
