Oh, the agony! Behold the sub-basement recording of the first song on this new-to-the-game punky thrash outfit from Florida. Said track, “Deadly Fits,” is so sonically impoverished that it makes mid-‘80s demos sound like Mutt Lange productions. The song itself isn’t so bad, at least when I can actually sift through the mud and retrieve it. Curiously, the next track, “They Live!,” sounds worlds better, as does its follow-up, “Hostile Negotiations.” I swear, those three alone sound like they were recorded and mixed at three different studios using different equipment, engineers and, uhh, band members? So do the next three, for that matter. Great to see a couple of bands that actually sound malnourished in this post-Pro Tools landscape, but that doesn’t make it endearingly good, either. Basslines waft up out of nowhere and then dissipate just as quickly, vocals are left struggling to be heard over unmistakable mic hiss, and all components of the drums sound muffled and soggy. And the songs, overall, aren’t anything special, either. A major rethinking is in order here, not to mention a proper studio session, because it’s wholly unacceptable to have a demo that sounds like it was recorded on a layaway plan.
