With members that would go on to play in All Fall Down, Cutthroat, and Stigmata, Substance were hardcore from the Cro-Mags school of mosh (rumor is their original name was Hard Times) that made them sound tough as fuck aside from their already raw demo. Usually this side of hardcore isn't really my thing, but this demo really rips from track one to the end. A lot of music that is supposed to be pissed off comes across as disingenuous at least on occasion but these dudes are really really pissed off and it shows from the riffs, to the vocals, to how hard the drummer hammers his kit.
Tracklist:
- Suppressed
- In Touch
- Breaking Through
- Pressure Point
- Over the Top
- Draw the Line
- Build Up
