Outtake

12 Angry Steps - Sonic Reducer

A cover of the Sonics protopunk gem by a Detroit local-up-and-comers 12 Angry Steps. Recorded in 1999 at Jim Diamond's Ghetto Recorders during the band's "innercityhillbillylovesongs" sessions. Originally released as a bonus on "Live At The Gold Dollar" in 2001.

12 Angry Steps - Maintainin' Mah Cool

Armed with CD-R technology and an old-school ink stamper, 12 Angry Steps released this 3-song promo in 1999 as an aid to booking shows prior to their full-album release. Original physical copies came in random color jewel cases with miniature dice and other ephemera (tiny pocketknife, etc) in the spine of the case. Removing the CD revealed live show reviews from various Detroit music magazines. Recorded by Jim Diamond.

Sometimes we miss old friends- until we see them. Some of them live alternative lives in my head. It came to me in a dream, so it almost felt like a cover-song.
