Rude Awakening | Demo 2011

Rude Awakening

By Vince Guerrero

This really wasn’t what I expected with members of Death Before Dishonor, and Hammer Bros, but damn this demo rules.  It’s a 4 track demo less than 8 minutes long, but it’s sure to get you off your ass and mosh.  I’m sure I’m going to be jamming this for weeks to come, good job guys really digging this demo. I hope to see more releases from them in the future.

The best song on this demo in my opinion is, “Towing the Line”.  It’s the shortest song on the demo at only 49 seconds long, but really that’s all I needed to hear to just make me want to go off and start raging in my bedroom.  It’s the intense fast-paced to slow riff changes that get me ahh, but yeah download it or buy the tape.  There are links below and leave feedback on this demo, more to come.

Bleak meter: 8

Discussion: What do you think about new bands or side projects that have already had success in the past in previous bands?  Do you think most listeners only listen to a new band if they are familiar with some of the members from their previous band?  Let me know what you think.
