Slaprocket - Demo 1996



I've had a bunch of people ask for this demo. I searched and found the first 4 song demo. There are other songs recorded that i just can't find right now but here are the first 4.

I love and hate this band. I love because its some really great music and hate it because we self destructed before it even got off the ground. I could point fingers but what good is that at this point. Lets just say there was a lot of drinkin & druggin going on at this point and i guess we were all somewhat responsible...

After Godspeed folded and i went West i came back to Jersey to jam w/ some of the best guys around.... Chris Kosnik formerly of Godspeed and then of Atomic Bitchwax. Kieth Ackerman of Bitchwax and Shane M Green of Nudeswirl. everyone had great ideas and we wrote some killer tunes. We played some great shows and then as quick as it started it fell apart. I started Solace right at the tail end. I think Shane played with Daisycutter for a breif while and Chris and Keith focused on Bitchwax....

we coulda been a contender.... File under: the best laid plans of mice and men, coulda, woulda, shoulda, but didn't & oh, well...

Godspeed Demo 1992



Listening to this now it sounds a little goofy to me but right around this time hardcore was dead to me and i was way more into Sabbath than Agnostic Front anymore, so i tried to do some kind of Metal Punk thing and this is what turned up... part on purpose and part accident. some cool metal riffs w/ some sort of snotty jello biafra / johnny rotten vox.... we were still trying to find out footing but the years that followed this demo were some of the best of my life... there was a 2nd demo that Atlantic records paid for and then a trip into Electric Lady studios for the Major Label debut... and tours w/ Sabbath and Dio... man, what a ride.... Anyway, i find this demo mildly amusing and pretty stupid and retarded but fun as hell.... we didn't know what we were doing and it shows but that was part of the fun. Ha ha ha!!!
