"We're a demo band"
Cassette 1.0
Our first ever recording was done in March 2001 on Dave's 4-track in his living room in New Jersey (packaging seen on the top to the left) and is Dave on guitar and drums and Tom doing the vocals. At this point we were not a serious band at all. Just two kids having fun. Tom had never sang let alone been in a band before and this was Dave's first ever time on guitar. The songs go as follows...
-Striaght Edge Herion Addict
-Crave
-Mind Replaced with a Circular Flow Diagram
-I Took the KKK's Baby Away
-The KYDS Today
-Lumberjack Ritual
-Stop Mid Jumpkick
-One Corporation and a Flat Tax
Cassette 1.1
After starting a kickball squad, and after our first show, Charlie (guitar) and TommyP (drums) joined the band. The second version of the demo was recorded live in May 2001 in the Muhlenberg Band room (artwork on the botton to the left) and includes the five live songs on the B-side aswell as cassette 1.0 on the front.
Live songs:
-Straigh Edge Addict
-Mind Replaced
-Summertime Metal 2001
-Faith Based Hatred
-3x3, 2(pie)r (do the math)
CD-r
With three shows under our belt we recorded Demo2.0 in Mid- August 2001 again, in Dave's living room in jersey. It's an 11 track, 12 minute CD-r. The artwork looked something like the image on the left. I have no idea how many of these we've made, there may be something like 40 different covers. Some had computer print out covers, other were completely hand made. Demo 2.0 can be copied any time, we're almost out of them so if you want one just ask. They're easy to make.
Tracks are as follows...
-Straight Edge Addict
-Mind Replaced
-Summertime Metal 2001
-Faith Based Hatred
-The Mark of Instruction
-3x3, 2(pie)r (do the math)
-Rejected by Emo Abdul-Jabbar
-xFttttahhhHx
-The Kids Today
-Skatan
-There'll be more room for the rest of us...
7 inch
Both Dave and Charlie have joined local Lehigh Valley skate/thrash band Carpenter Ant, we've taken a short weekend trip to New York and Mass, three fourths of the band has moved to Philadelphia and Mike Fleming, a new guitarist of Philadelphia's Go TIme, has joined the band. Demo 3.0 was recorded in March 2002. We headed out to Maniac Studios in Bethlehem PA, where Carpenter Ant had just recorded their 7" "Never Stop Skating" and where AudioHeart (Dave and Charlie and later Mike's new band) would record their 4 song cassette demo the following week. We used Maniac's new 16 track. Mike joined the band two weeks before we recorded. There are four new songs, along with an old song off Demo 2.0 and an instrumental. The pressing will be 500 in total, 125 on baby blue, 375 on clear blue. The first 125 will have one of a kind hand made covers by us (25 screen printed, the rest collage, paint and marker). It will be released in June 2002 (ha, june! try october buddy) on Square of Opposition Records run by friends Chris Reject and Seth's Basement.

Split 7"
Alot has happened since Demo 3.0 came out. Let's see if I can make this quick... Audioheart has broken up after a splendid couple of months. Charlie has left Carpenter Ant (deathmetal vocals have replaced him), Flem has started the A-Sides and are rocking philly, Dave has joined The Gatecrashers and The Ultimate Warriors and started up Hypatia with Charlie, Tom Attack and Grizzy (his demented roommate) have started Snake Versus Mongoose a twisted repetitive noise thing and Tommy P is starting up a band with some philly dudes and has moved and has no telephone and won't tell anyone what his address is. Demo Three Point Five is a split 7 inch record with Hypatia for our summer tour together. Out once again on Square of Opposition Records (as release number 8) the pressing will be 600 total with 300 on clear dirty orange vinyl. Look for it in the Valley sometime after July 15th and all over the east coast in early June 2003.
Robot side:
-Skatan
-Summertime Metal 2003
-Never Lose Your Core
-Mad Dash
Hypatia side:
-You Can't Smash the State with a Gogurt
-Optimist Prime
-XSupermarket SweepX
