the wonderful DuPage County Hardcore bandcamp page recently unearthed a four song EP that I played guitar & second drums on back in the year 2002.



I had not heard this in ages and listening to it with fresh ears reminded me that this was probably the best thing I have ever been a part of - unfortunately, we basically wrote these four songs, recorded them in our practice space (i did the recording and i think it's a complete mess in the best way - at times sounds incredible and at times is way out of control) and quickly broke up thereafter.

FM steve said "Karate fans should be all over this" and that's a good call as we were all fans - i also remember listening to a lot of VSS on the way to practice during this time which would explain the spooky/dark nature of the guitar playing

oh well.

Fun stuff! It's not miles apart from something Jade Tree would put out in the late '90s, though very few bands were doing Bowie-like vocals at that time. Sound quality is damn good for a practice space recording.

"Awesome bands you were in that fell apart quickly" would be a good future thread, I've got a couple for sure.
