Demo Feature

Described by MRR as

Washington DC’s DEMAND’s demo from last year delivers some super solid hardcore. Very danceable with some nice hints of melody while still keeping it HC to the very core—the type of hardcore that wouldn’t be out of place on the Triple B roster. This debut release demonstrates some real powerful potential for this band and I’m really stoked to see what’s up next—recommended!

You can download the demo from bandcamp.

We will also be featuring some dep cuts from the Britain’s Burning comp. New international releases from Morocco (TAQBIR), Indonesia (ZAGOBART), Singapore (SIAL), and Chile (LUZ DE GAS). Lots of Canuck-core (COLD SHAKES, MISUSED, REAL SICKIES and the CHOICE FEW) and dad-core (THE ACCUSED A.D./ DOA) and re-issues (TOXIC WASTE / PROTEX). Download the show here.

Demo Feature
BSL were a band from Barrie back in 1986-1988. The three letter acronym was adaptable and the band had made a few stickers to suggest what the three letters could stand for. Boys from Scuttlebutt Lodge was the one that I have heard repeated back to me fairly often. They recorded a second demo in 1988 that really didn’t get much fan fare but three songs from their first demo made it to a compilation that I put out in 1988 called “Ontario: Yours to Discover”. We’re going to hear the eight song demo tonight.
