I know there were cleaner versions of these demos out there, but I figured I'd put this up anyways. This was dubbed for Dave Spicer by a member of Red Tide in the early 90's. Whoever did it even took the time to make liner notes. Track 14 is actually a reprise of 'Fear To Live'. The first 5 songs were from when the Victoria band were still known as Suburban Menace. At the end of side B there was also two and a half songs from "Kelp And Salal", which I left off because you can get those songs on itunes. Still, it's a shame no one's ever done a discography of this totally unique hardcore band.
you are right,an offical discography lp of the SM/RT demo's would be awesome!
ReplyDeletetoo bad labels like DERANGED etc focus too much on all the new hype bands and forget the old/unheard canadian classics.
still waiting for the negative gain demo on vinyl also...
I agree. I'm surprised Schizophrenic Records or Supreme Echo haven't done it, those are two labels that have put out that kind of stuff.

ReplyDeleteYou know who is utterly unknown to Vancouver hc kids of today. Subverse and Adversity. I listened to the Subverse 7" again the other day and it shouldn't be relegated to such unknown status.
ReplyDeleteAdversity definitely got their sound from Beyond Possession but that LP is still good. I saw a rip of it on that Church of Zer site before.
You see the Subverse 7", the split LP with Desecration, and the Adversity LP in dollar bins here all the time. I talked to some kid the other day with an Extreme Noise Terror shirt and told him a couple Vancouver bands shared labels (Manic Ears, Looney Tunes) and comp space with UK bands from that same movement as it was happening and he had no idea and didn't seem to care either.
Noticed JK's new blog has a pic of the Adversity demo as the wallpaper. I've never heard that and I bet it's good.
..and yes Deranged is a truly horrible label. White Lung? barf

Wait a sec, seems like that demo is another copy of Outta My Way (25 song cassette demo), but some of the tracks are renamed wrong on your copy. If your curious, vdrp.blogspot.ca which I used to run but that was a long time ago, I totally lost my interest in such a bl0g. Anyhow...
ReplyDeleteRed Tide, Negative Gain, YYY, Chronic Submission, Sudden Impact, Dayglo Abortions, Subhumans, all great examples of the punkmusic I like from Canada. In fact I saw in my country D.O.A. and S.N.F.U. live. Happy with this side and I have already downloaded some great stuff thanks to you!! Just wondering if you have the Social Suicide demo and Silent Terror demo as well. If so can you (or others reading this) share it with me?? Bert
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with Social Suicide and Silent Terror, sorry. If I do come across those demos, I'll post 'em both for sure. Glad you enjoy the blog, and Canadian punk! Where are you from?
DeleteIam from the Netherlands, played by myself in Kotsbrokken and still collect new hardcore stuff. Everytime I hear something new and special I can be as a child so happy. That happened after listening to one song from Silent Terror (Calgary) and two from Social Suicide. It's without a doubt Canadian punk/hardcore the way I like a LOT!!! So hopefully you can help me and yourself with finding these treasures. Take care, Bert
DeleteNetherlands is definitely no slouch when it comes to killer punk and hardcore! I'm familiar with Kotsbrokken as Queer Pills put out your LP a few years back. I'll have to get a copy next time I see it. Cheers!
DeleteDo you have something from Section 46. They are from Victoria? they made 2 demos: While Injustice Continues [1988] and By Myself
DeleteAfraid not. But there is a copy of While Injustice Continues for sale on Discogs from a seller in Germany for 8 euro.
