FINAL WARNING - Demonstration 1983 EP (1983)

 After a slight detour to Venice Beach, we're back in the PDX for another raw ass recording. The full demo has 12 songs (check the vid below), but I guess they could only fit 9 of them on this 7". Better than nothing I suppose.

SUICIDAL TENDENCIES - Demos 1982/86 CD (2020)

How is it that I've been listening to ST for almost 30 years and have never heard these demos until recently? For me, tracks 1-9 are the best of the bunch on this disc. I might actually like these versions better than the ones that were re-recorded for their debut album. The track listing on the back cover is incorrect as 11 and 12 aren't included as listed. The next batch of songs sound like they come from a rehearsal session. There's an unlisted track in there, I just don't know what it's called as these songs are unreleased and the vocals are barely audible. The last four are pre-Join The Army demos.

THE IMPERIALIST PIGS - Cork Screw Pork Sword EP (2007)

 Speaking of short lived Portland HC, here's Pig Champion's band pre-Poison Idea. Recorded late '80 and early '81 but unreleased until 2007 for some odd reason. 

UPDATE June 23: It wasn't until after I posted it that someone pointed out that side 2 is double grooved and is actually two songs. Each track starts depending on what groove you place the needle on. Never heard of that before! And I've had this 7" for a few years now haha. So I've re-uploaded it with the fifth track as intended to replace the original four song file. Sorry for the inconvenience!

WARBOY - Futile Living EP (1983)

 From Warhead to Warboy, a short-lived Portland project featuring members of Sado-Nation and Lockjaw. Originally released on cassette in '83 and recently on 7". Wish they stuck around long enough to at least put out another EP or something because this shit's the tits.

WARHEAD - Cry Of Truth EP (1991)

DIRECT ACTION - Tomorrow Is Too Late 1984 Tape LP (2019)

Now here's a classic case of a band's demo sounding better than the album. I mean don't get me wrong, Trapped In A World is a great album and all but this session is just way more raw sounding.

VA - Trouble With A Capital T LP (2018)

 Amazing sampler of what was coming outta Tallahassee Florida during the 1980's. A lot of this stuff is pretty hard to come by these days.
