Local demos that stand out...
| Message Board > Music Chitchat - Heavy > Local demos that stand out... |
| _Griphin_ User Info... | When I was getting re-aquainted with my local demo collection, it had occured to me to ask what you thought were the best local demos released over the last 15+ years. So here goes my sad attempt at what ruled. Red Tide-Outta My Way Demo 83 This rules, nuff said. Left of Center-Hard Times Demo 93 I can never grow bored listening to this, I just wish I had a chance to see the band. They even cover Genetic Control's "Urban Cowboy" (which I also have the EP of). Severance-Demo 92 I used to work with Dave Hughes at one of the restaurant jobs I had, and he gave me both the Severance demos as well as Left of Center demo. I used to run into Dave quite a lot, but haven't seen him since the assault. Demonation-Demonation EP Awesome demo! DreadNaut-Deliverance Demo One of my favorite metal acts (I've only heard 1 song from Armoros). Jake who was in this band now plays punk in The Remanes, go figure. ;) Nuff said... - Sat, 19 Feb 2005 9:50am | ||
| csic User Info... | I will listen to anything, but one of my favorite local demo tapes was AK-47 first recording. I think I wore that tape out shouting along to Re-Education camp #9. I also really like the stuff that wrought Iron smile was putting out. I only ever got one of their discs but I was in awe of that band everytime I saw them. The SPOCK tape was also a good one. - Sat, 19 Feb 2005 4:19pm | ||

| ML7Mike User Info... | Deranged - Premonitory Nightmares came out sometime in the very early 90's I think. Years ahead of its time, hands down one of the best metal acts to ever grace this city. Damn I should rip this tape.. I have the Jonas demo too :D - Sat, 19 Feb 2005 9:00pm | ||
| KRUZTY User Info... | Hey Griph, glad you are still rockin out to those old Severence and Left of Center Demo's!!! It seems like yesterday that we recorded all that shit. I ran into Dave about a year ago at Logans, he lives in Australia now and has been for a few years. Kent Oh ya favorite local demos Mision of Christ - Silence in Grave Armoros - Remember Michelle Atrocity - Sick Shit (? I think)Darren Marshall , what the fuck ever happened to that guy??? - Sat, 19 Feb 2005 9:28pm | ||

| brad User Info... | shit...i love so much of what has come out of this city, a few picks off the top of my head... Shutdown- No More Fuckin Privacy (for the record the Shutdown 7" is one of my all time fav releases..period) Pigment Vehicle-Let the Squids Fly Free Contempt (ok both are completely different, but they both rule in their own way) Black Kronstadt-Crimes Of Capital,Crimes of the State (i had the tape before the 7" came out...this is awesome) Severence-(i coulda swore i bought that in the summer of 91, but i must be wrong) Beige Froth Mexican Power Authority-More Discipline Pressure Cooker-Cooked (And Griphen...i STILL need to score a copy of the "legendary" Mission of Christ, my copy is long since gone). - Sun, 20 Feb 2005 6:59am | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Yeah, thanks for reminding me, I completely fergot who I was chatting with about that demo. Hopefully you got all those CDs burned, I've seen one of them actually. Speaking of Armoros, I ran into the guy who wrote Remember Michelle at the 5th street during one of my Ale binges, that was cool. Wow, lots of demos I don't have already mentioned. That's wierd Kruzty, I thought Dave moved back from Australia. So you drummed for both LoC and Severance?!? Yeah that's awesome work!!! I managed to find the second Left of Center demo, wow there's a huge difference between the first and second demos. BTW: Does anyone have any of the Mission of Christ demos recorded?!? I think I'm missing a few of them. - Sun, 20 Feb 2005 9:50am | ||

| JOE90 User Info... | Ya, the Atrocity and MOC demos were cool. Other good ones were by Gus and Color Out Of Space. Darren Marshall got married not too long ago, lives in Calgary. Haven't personally seen him for years. - Thu, 3 Mar 2005 2:29pm | ||

| dumpstermesh User Info... | Anyone remember a Nanaimo band called Contact? I think I still have their demo tape. It was pretty good. An ex of mine sold my Shutdown 7" and it was one of my favorites. - Thu, 3 Mar 2005 4:40pm | ||
| rickylong User Info... |  Red Tide demos are incredible!!! The band Red Tide where incredible!!! Don't forget Jerk Ward's Flesh and Bones demo!!!! What about Uncle Wigglys Hot Shoes Band?? Or Roxxlyde man those guys have been rockin for years!!! I was lost in the nineties so i missed alot of stuff. But yes Mission of Christ are a big one! Considering this was groundbreaking at the time! I"ve heard MOC riffs in a few new songs. Funny who where the top mainstream demos??? Nelly Potatoe, or Mocca Only & Swollen Dinks... any demos from these heavy local acts??? anyway just wanted to agreee on the Red Tide stuff!! Yes Griph this is one of the best!!! -ding dong - Thu, 3 Mar 2005 8:43pm | ||

| _Griphin_ User Info... | Yeah I used to be a HUGE fan of Red Tide, right around the time there last demo was released (wish I still had it), but I managed to find "Where Sea Meets Sky" from it. I'm always on the hunt for more of there demos. Mission of Christ were a cool band, and I managed to find the "Silence in Grave" and "Demo 89" thanks to Jason Flowers. Two very cool demos, I can see how so many people really liked this band. - Fri, 4 Mar 2005 11:57am | ||
