SKABS - 96 DEMO

The Skabs from NYC.  The first demo was as dark as it was cool as it was catchy.  They will get stuck in your head.  Three language minimum on the lyrics of these seven addicting song.  The same songs were re-recorded a year later and came out on a 7".  They continued on into the early 2000's and put out an lp, although, the style had changed.  Thanks so much for Jon Kray for getting this to me.  Also the Image above is not of the demo, the demo had a face screaming.

The Bristles - Lifestyles Of The Poor & Unknown (1997)


The second Bristles album from 97' on BEER CITY RECORDS.  Picking up on a slightly mature lyrical content (they must have got jobs), possibly due to a different lineup. This record was recorded as a 3-piece, and was the first of two full lengths to feature Sean Abandoned on vocals.  Quality snotty street punk from North NJ! "Pills And Alcohol" is personal favorite!
