NJ SUNSHINE Tape - Mechanical Bride - The Burnt - A.O.D. - New Republic

This tape was made for me by Harry Baggs. Harry ran the great NJ Zine Ear Wax back in the day. He also played guitar and sand in Mechanical Bride. We were kinda friendly back then. And he would send me tapes of stuff. He was also a good friend of Social Decay and gave us a lot of exposure in his zines early on.

I'm pretty sure The Mechanical Bride stuff is from one of their demo's and Side B is live stuff from The House Of Wax. Which were shows Harry would put on at his house. Sounds like everyone was having a good time! the Burnt give us a few very non PC tunes as only they could. AOD doing what they do best which is being goofy w/ a rap about crack and New Republic give us a Kiss cover... Can i have another beer?

Enjoy.

Godspeed Demo 1992

Listening to this now it sounds a little goofy to me but right around this time hardcore was dead to me and i was way more into Sabbath than Agnostic Front anymore, so i tried to do some kind of Metal Punk thing and this is what turned up... part on purpose and part accident. some cool metal riffs w/ some sort of snotty jello biafra / johnny rotten vox.... we were still trying to find out footing but the years that followed this demo were some of the best of my life... there was a 2nd demo that Atlantic records paid for and then a trip into Electric Lady studios for the Major Label debut... and tours w/ Sabbath and Dio... man, what a ride.... Anyway, i find this demo mildly amusing and pretty stupid and retarded but fun as hell.... we didn't know what we were doing and it shows but that was part of the fun. Ha ha ha!!!
