Kidnapping Theory

All I have for this is their description on last.fm...

brian, justin, and pat.

3 dudes playing crap.

they are from southern jersey.

I'm guessing they were active early 2000's, based on the date of their demo. It's pretty rough stuff. Kind of more on the grind/power violence spectrum, with the second demo being more grindy than the first.  High pitched vocals, and short songs. Check it out if you're curious.


Demo 2k2

Another Demo

David is Burning

From Hi Nella, NJ and active early 2000's. They are definitely more on the metalcore/tech metal spectrum, but have some relevance for being posted here. Not much on this other than that. I think this is all they've released?

Demo

Let's Talk About Natural Fucking Selection

All Those Birds

I have zero information on this, other than that they were from Fieldsboro, NJ. It's pretty mid-2000's skram sounding, and I'm guessing they were active roughly around then as well. These are all myspace tracks, so they might/probably have more out there, probably impossible to find at this point though.

EP

Unreleased

Eleventh Symphony

Active 1998-2001, from Cincinnati I believe. They play a fairly weird brand of stuff. Sounds very 90's influenced, but definitely has hints of crazier bands from the 2000's. Members went on to Noarmsnolegs, and They Found My Naked Corpse Face Down In The Snow. The band actually sounds quite a bit like a 90's version of Naked Corpse. Last.fm has a pretty good description on them if you'd like to know more. Here is all they've released. I definitely recommend A Uniform Infinity above the others, as the early stuff is quite different from the later. Good stuff overall.

Demo

Kendall Bruns Split 7

A Uniform Infinity of Homogenous Matter At A Low Temperature

Falls Under April

Active 2001-2002, and from Central Virginia. These guys play a very 90's emo influenced sound. It's pretty good stuff overall. I definitely would recommend a download of the first album that I have here. The second one is a a lot more metalcore sounding, and not nearly as good as their other stuff. Here it all is though. This is most of the tracks that I've seen floating around, but as per usual there could probably be more stuff out there.

Falls Under April

"Demo" - shares some tracks with the below download. No idea.

This Could Have Been Our Finest Hour

Edit: I randomly came across this youtube video, and reading the comments I guess these albums are pretty butchered and missing stuff. I updated the post with another "demo" that I found on soulseek a while ago. So just be aware that none of these DL's make sense, nor are they good quality recordings (sadly most of this blog is like that...) I'd fix them if I had the proper sources.

Hot Cross - Fair Trades Demo

I'm sure most of the people who view this blog have listened to their fair share of Hot Cross. Their entire discography is pretty easily accessible in and around the internet. I have something kind of random here, that I've never really seen anywhere before. It's referred to as a demo for Fair Trades and Farewells, no idea if that is what it actually is, but it definitely is rough (better than live though) recordings of the tracks off that album.

This might be more for the completionists, but the recordings are actually quite different. They are definitely pretty rough in comparison to the very well produced recordings on the actual album. I actually kind of like them better. The vocals are pretty different, and there isn't really much of the clean singing. If you like Hot Cross, and like the album Fair Trades and Farewells, you should definitely check it out for something a bit different.

Fair Trades and Farewells - Demo

The Day Had Died (Two Shades of Pain)

Early 2000's, sounds like a ton of other bands from this era. Kind of metalcore/hardcore influenced sound. This is just kind of a collection of songs, some from myspace and some that were sent to me. I would have no idea what all they've released, and information on them seems kind of scarce. I do know that this is pre Boys Night Out, and that they were Canadian. Pretty good stuff though, check it out.

EDIT: I found this on SLSK, it's a more complete collection of all their songs. Definitely download this.

The Day Had Died

Two Shades of Pain Demo (This is a band that came before The Day Had Died)



Also, some of the songs might be a bit messed up at times. They were apparently on a CD that had some damage done to it. It's just a few songs, and it's pretty minor though. Kind of sucks, but not much can be done.
