The Gravel Pit Demo [1989]

Received this as a gift in 1990-91 from someone who did not like it and thought I might, and they were absolutely right. Awesome rock/pop with organ verging on punk and even psych at points. This tape has been played in every walkman and car stereo I have ever owned. They put out another demo tape after this called "The Shark Long Player" in 1992. I have that and might put it up here if I get around to it. Enjoy the early sounds of one of New England's finest.

2. The Interstate Of Mind (3:26)
3. See Emily Play (2:42)

This here is the first and only demo from Or Rathol Nok featuring Mick Barr on guitar and vocals. He went on to play in Crom-Tech, Orthrelm, Ocrilim, The Flying Luttenbachers and now Krallice among many others. It came out in 1995 and he only made a handful that he handed out to friends and family (he's my cousin. don't tell anyone though, it's a secret) and also at that one show they played in Hamden in that warehouse attic space that had shows for maybe 6 months or so.

Kiss it Goodbye [1996]

Here we have the original demo tape from the late great Kiss it Goodbye. Still to this day probably the most intense live band I have ever seen. 3 of the 4 songs on here ended up on other releases. "Hartley" and "Manthing" were re-recorded for "She Loves Me.She, Loves Me Not" and "Target Practice" was re-recorded for the "Choke" EP. The sample at the end of "Target Practice" blends right into "Hartley" on the tape, so I made into 1 track.

1. Manthing (3:18)
2. Afterschool Special (3:08)
3. Target Practice/Hartley (9:42)

This is the first demo from Chicago's MK-ULTRA (Bleading Ear Records No.1). The 8 songs are really noisy, thrashy, groovy, hardcore/punk. Great samples that actually serve as lyrics a lot of the time. Very simple, angular and noisy. This got a lot of play in my walkman and car stereo.

1. Seconds (3:14)
2. What Have You Got (2:06)
3. You Will Die (1:37)
4. Nevernever Land (2:42)
