This demo absolutely sucks. Their drummer (jason) and vocals (steve), and... Actually, I'm just kidding. This is one of the best demos or actual releases that I have ever heard. I am absolutely in love with this little piece of plastic and the music in it. The first song, "She Is Mine" starts with more recent Piebald-y high pitched vocals, and melodic guitar. Then... SCREAM-sing-SCREAM-SCREAM-sing... all in one part. Reminescent of I Hate Myself (circa "Less Than Nothing" ...but not completely). The rest of the song goes through with melody and then a faster (almost punk) part leading up to more SCREAM-sing-SCREAM-etc... and finishes. Best song. "Turn To You" starts with not as high pitched-vocals and sounds a little more Get Up Kids-ish, but doesn't have as many guitar-stop-guitar (stuff if you know what I mean)... "One Foot In Heaven" starts with an instrumental introduction with a fortydaysrain or Isis-ish intro but never gets to the metal... It's melodic and complete with Jason (drums) screaming sounds of torture at an almost inaudible level. Then after over a minute, the singing comes. But not after a 12cent-ish street punk start, back to a metal-y breakdown. Oh my God. Buy this thing. I'm only half-way through reviewing it. Now on to side two: "Just For You" shows their Weezer influence. It's got distortion but stays quiet. Maybe a little Joshua in the singing. The vocals are definitely not as high pitched here. Then it ends with some whiny guitar riffs and hard to hear clapping (at least I think that's what it is). "I Can't Tell" is a mix between Saetia, early Piebald, & 400 Years or something of the sort. It has singing and scratchy-singing and screaming. Shit! this is good. "Sunday," the last song, has probably the best lyrics. "I remember this place, wher you used to be...you've changed..." Carolyn Zaikowksi is a really great poet (she wrote the words to this song). Sounds like recent Piebald with more distortion in the chorus and deeper-vocals. Super repetitive, and just damn good. I can't even describe it. It ends unexpectidly. Only complaint on the whole thing: no thanks to me or Just Another Scene? (huh, Jason???). Go out and give them a show or buy the tape (for only $3) or just pretend that you know who they are.
