I can’t remember why we started the band, but once we did, having some songs seemed a logical next step. The lack of gigs, money and rehearsal space led us to conclude a demo tape might help – after all, if we don’t know what we sound like so how can be persuade someone to give us a gig!<\/p>\n

Ian and Andy from Woburn Sands agreed to join us for the day on Bass and Drums. Jason – a friend of Peters – helped out by playing metal percussion.<\/p>\n

Despite not having any actual songs, we had lots of ideas. We pieced together 5 songs, mixed them and left. The songs where called Crawlin’, Alone, Filled With Fear, Four Fatal Words, Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n
