Hmmm… A demo by a band that has already played 100 shows and got its first release out five years ago? Sounds strange but Sidetracked got their reasons.
After a few line up changes and stuff the band regards this demo as a new start. They just wanted to release some new songs as soon as possible and so they did. Good idea! This cd-r really works out. Thrashy old school hardcore with a lot of drive and energy. The remarkable thing though are the lyrics. “sick prick” is dealing with the fucking semi-professionalism of parts of the scene where people just want to copy the big biz on a small scale. “I’m not with you” is about stupid violent dancing and just as stupid trench warfare in the hc scene. Finally “kidding queers” is a good statement against the boring virility and the fucked up homophobia in this testosterone fuelled scene. Good lyrics, nice music, a lot of energy, lyric sheet aboard and a stencilled cover. Nothing to mourn about!
