Chicago HC

Two new demos from two very promising Chicago hardcore bands.  First up is the Gas Rag demo.  I had been seeing this band's name everywhere and was finally able to snag a copy.  Very good early 80's hardcore punk on display here.  New EP due out soon on Beach Impediment Records and I've heard the tracks SMOKE.

Second demo is from a band called Future Cops.  This takes more of a fastcore approach.  The layout on this tape is very clever.  It's an emulated speeding ticket, with all the recording/band credits, and lyrics.  Pretty awesome.
