This is a selection of tracks from the 13-song DEMO recordings we did in one day with Issa Dia @ Microgroove in Decatur, not long before he moved away from Atlanta. We had a great time with Issa, but there was no time that day for overdubs, multiple takes, etc. Everything you hear is live, single take recordings, mistakes and all. Recorded in 1994, I think, straight to ADAT, then mixed down to the CD you hear. Enjoy.

Recorded by Matt Washburn at Ledbelly Studios when it was still in Woodstock. Not sure about the exact date, but it must have been around 1997/1998. Heavy stuff. Chris and I used to refer to this as our "angry anthem".
