New Life - Demo (2017)


Time for another one of my old bands! This supergroup of local weirdos was put together by JR of Lone Ranger who went on to be in the Royal Hounds in NYC (probably one of the best new oi bands going right now) with me, Welf and Joey from Aggressive Response, and David from Flowers of Evil. Okay so, the story goes like this: we originally were supposed to be a band for exactly one show, which was Iron Cross coming through Albany on tour. It so happened that that show was cancelled, and due to some weird law of transference we ended up becoming a real band.


With some hard hitting JR riffage, David's proselike lyrics and spastic stage presence, Joey and Welf filling out the sound, and me keeping a steady beat, we actually became something I am still kinda proud of. Only one demo recording exists and the sound quality is the perfect kind of shitty to compliment our sound, but we did have a handful of other songs that were never properly archived and that is a damn shame. We wanted a band that would be short lived and burn out quickly, and even if we started doing some outta town gigs here and there we still ended up becoming that band. Relationships soured with several members and it was decided we'd part ways. I had a good time in the band, but it was hard to be bummed while having 14 hour days between work and school before I'd even get to practice. Now that all that shit is over, I'm definitely missing these days. Pretty unforunate we never got to record the War At Your Door 7" but hey, it is what it is!
