Old demo meme

In the same week that my Father cleared his loft and stumbled across a box of tapes upon which I'd captured my frantic pubescent strummings, an old friend, via myface, sent me a long forgotten demo from the early nineties that we believed at the time would change our lives.

This sent me upon an archivist's quest to digitise all the shite I've created over the years - C90s, Tascam 4 tracks and what not. Just like family photos, old shite appreciates in value over time. Historical significance overtakes artistic merit, you could say.

So, I'm going to post select songs that I've written, in reverse chronological order, from my early twenties to early teens (1980's) here over the next few weeks. Not only to exorcise old demons, but to encourage Atheist Blogroll members to do the same. There's nothing like listening to your old demos for a bit of drunken nostalgia...

So, here's the first song of the demo, funnily enough called Faith.



Be nice, post your own demo and tell us about it. You will be reassured upon listening to this track, that standards can be very much improved upon...

  1. I too recently digitised late 80s cider and drug induced hillarity - not sure where to post it to, so have sent it via facebook i think... - ps this also proves that the quality can be very much less than yours...

  2. Get 'em posted!

    Was introduced to the joys of Meat Pie the other day - apparently you may remember them?

  3. Meat pie live at the diamond - look up the crooked billet in henley to see where the singer ended up...

    I went on to be in a band with the drummer, and have a son by the sister of the bass player of the support band...
