More deeeeemos

By cooch | Published 10/01/2010

A couple more tapes from plodge23 to go along with that New Breed comp…

Maximum Penalty – demo ’89
I was never super into this band, but this is definitely my favorite material by them. Tough NYHC with just the right amount of “street” in their sound. I saw them play a couple years ago opening for Absolution and I was kind of expecting the worst, but they sounded real good and did a few songs from the demo and I was pleasantly surprised.

Insted – demo ’87
OK, I have to say I really can’t get into this band, but I’m a sucker for old demo tapes so I’d probably buy this if it was put in front of me. I don’t think it ever came with a proper cover, but the poster insert here is pretty cool looking and the seller even managed to save the mailer it came in along with a handful of old west coast ‘core flyers. Nice little bundle!

Staring, not Screaming.

There’s something endearing about this listing.

1. Uniform Choice? No, I’d prefer the first LP. Though I do enjoy this record now.

2. The seller? Oh, you mean “www.heavymetalmuseum.com”? Nah, not particularly.

3. The listing? Hmmm…

“Uniform Choice Staring Into the Sun USA Cassette”

Yep. That’s it.

Uniform Choice Double EP

I never understood the purpose of this particular release. Headhunter / Cargo Records split release.

Basically, it’s the demo converted to vinyl. July 19, 1984. A long time ago, that’s for certain. 25 years is no joke.

However, there is one thing I absolutely LOVE about this EP set. And that is the drawings on the labels. I love those little thing.

Yes, I realize they were originally (or most of them) released as sleeve prints for the 4 sided Wishingwell UC tees. Like the flying skin.

Or the UC Boyz skin, which I can’t seem to find a pic of. (Casali, help me out, brother).

You’ll notice the images aren’t EXACTLY the same though, like someone redrew them because of how awesome they are. The stomping skin is perhaps my favorite. Lead Edge.
