All Demos, All Day 10/8/2015

Today's show is entirely comprised of rare demo tracks from the 80's (and maybe one or two from the 90's) so be sure to tune in at 4 PM on bullsradio.org! This is the first time I have had an entire program dedicated to demos, so you'll be sure to hear some new bands and songs. Thanks to Lennon Livesay for the flyer.

Ramses' "Demo MMXV" Listening Party

October is looking to be a promising month for the radio show. For the first show of the month, tune in to hear an exclusive stream of the brand new demo from Ramses out of Florida. Bands like Axis, Blistered and Point Blank have made a name for themselves nationally. This demo is a promising look at what Florida's new wave of heavy bands have to offer. Tune in to hear it before it's publicly available on Thursday, October 1st from 4-5 PM on Exact Change Radio on bullsradio.org.

Full stream and band interview available by clicking here. Check out Ramses' bandcamp here.

Deathtribe - nothing your leader CS

Deathtribe has two releases: this six track demo and a split 7" with Kriegshög. This particular cassette came out in 2007 on the label Hardcore Survives and is now out of print. You may recognize this name from their other releases by bands such as Mob 47, D-Clone, Isterismo, and even Florida's own Mauser. You can check out the label information and all the currently in-stock releases via their website, which you can browse here.

You can tell Deathtribe has done their fair share of studying up on classic Japanese punk while soaking this demo in their own aggressive shouting and slobbering. While this may not be regarded as one of the more "essential" releases on Hardcore Survives, it's a great starting point for both the label (literally) and any listener looking to sample what Japan has to offer in the world of punk.

Funeral System - Demo 2015 CS

Funeral System is a howling metal punk band from Plant City, FL. The duo came together and debuted with this four track demo early in 2015. The members are credited on the included insert as "Drums: Black Blade" and "Guitar/Vocals: Anointer". This may ring a bell if you are from Florida, as there have been a few limited solo releases under the name Anointer. You can hear one track here.

Besides Anointer, members of Funeral System also play in Shadow Laughter, State Intoxication and a few other local acts with unreleased material. The tracks on this demo average at about a little over a minute in length each. All four have lyrics pertaining to war, death and corruption of power. If you want to give it a listen before you give it a download, the full demo is available on YouTube here.

Funeral System has only played a couple of shows; one of them can be viewed here in full. Funeral System combines the raw drive of Japanese bands like Disclose and Confuse with the evil scowl of Abigail, while still melding well with Florida contemporaries such as Radiation or Allergy.

Upheaval - Downfall Of The Ascendancy Of Man CD

Upheaval was a vegan straight edge band from Indianapolis on Eulogy Records. This five track release came out in 1997 as Eulogy Records #4. This release blends together the brutal onslaught of death metal with some hardcore tinges, as well as a few pleasant, melodic moments of guitar work. Upheaval only had one other official release, "Testimony To The Atrocities", in 2000.

The third track, "The Descending Path", was featured on the most recent Exact Change Radio show; unfortunately, the show did not podcast correctly. Another track will be featured on the next show, and here you have a chance to check out the whole release.
