Done... moving on.

Ok, we've had this demo recorded since September and for various reasons it wasn't finished until last week.We recorded it in our practice space with all our own gear, a firewire interface and Garageband running on a 12" Apple Powerbook. But the beauty of doing it yourself is you can take your time with it.

The process went like this:
Record it, mix it, burn a few copies for a show. Listen to it again, remix some songs, burn a few more copies for some shows. Listen to it some more, decide mastering would make it sound awesome, wait for mastering guy. Decide it still sucks, remix it again, master it yourself, burn some copies for ourselves and maybe just say enough is enough and make this the final version.

So, we're moving on. We've got three new songs finished already, and at least another three written and just need arranging and some lyrics. Sorry to anyone who got one of the earlier versions of these songs, you were our lab rats. But what the fuck are you complaining about it was free anyway you cheap bastards...

Here are the final versions mixed, remixed, remixed again and mastered. And you can download the individual songs or altogether as a handy zip file And if you're feeling really crafty there's a PDF file of the demo cover with lyrics.
