SEAMEN - Macchio tape (1993)

Seamen's second demo. If you liked their first tape, you'll like this one too. Personally, I prefer this recording of 'Hellhole'. Two years after 'Macchio' the band released their debut CD 'Liquor Face', which had a different sound than their previous stuff.

2. Y.O.A.
3. Dirties
4. Hellhole
5. On The Pil
6. Shmagpie
7. Trusting Few

SEAMEN - Demo tape (1992)

Found this tape at the record fair for $2 last weekend, which was great because my dubbed copy has been missing since the 90's. This demo has a bit of local historical significance as it's the Surrey band's only recording with the late Jesse Cadman on drums. I can't believe this came out twenty years ago, that makes me feel kinda old.

1. Hellhole
2. Shmagpie
3. As The Cheese Flows
4. Cel
5. Neck Of Red
6. Fuck You Up And Get High (Dwarves)

A.O.T. - Music To Eat Lightbulbs By... Demo (1984)

It's funny, had I never posted 'Tales From The Western Shore' the other day, I wouldn't have gotten this demo. Big thanks to Dan Walters, who not only put out that compilation but also played in A.O.T. (Abortions On Toast). This is a better recording than the songs from 'Tales...', recorded at the Plaza's rehearsal space with members of Death Sentence on background vocals. A few guys from A.O.T.(including Dan) ended up in Fratricide. They also recorded a 3 song demo at Ocean Studios in '85 that was recently unearthed and can be found HERE.

1. Baby Bonfire
2. Buttfuck (Fort Langley cowpunk trad.)
3. A.O.T. Chant
4. Which Way Is East
5. Life Sucks
6. Mental Decay

8. Reagan's Back
9. I Can't Skate

SCHOOLLY D - Gangster Boogie / Maniac 12" (1986)

Although Schoolly-D isn't the greatest rapper in the world, he'll always be one of my all-time favorites. This is his debut single, originally released in 1984 (ripped from a 1986 repress). 'Gangster Boogie' was definitely influenced by Run-DMC's "Sucker MC's", while the flip side "Maniac" sounds like a poor man's "Rockit". Not his most classic material, but I'd still rather listen to this than most of what passes for hip hop nowadays.

1. Gangster Boogie (M.C., M.C's) (Street Version)
2. Gangster Boogie (M.C., M.C's) (Radio Version)
3. Maniac

THE BLACK NASTY - Self Titled CD (1995)

Short-lived Seattle punk band made up of members of Midnight Idols, Big Top, Beat Senseless and fronted by Blaine Cook (The Fartz, Accüsed, Toe Tag, Denial Fiend). This self-released disc was their only recorded output. Musically (and vocally) it's a bit of a departure from Blaine's other work but still definitely worth a listen.
