RSD21 NEGATIVE APPROACH Tied Down Demo

(Green Vinyl, indie-exclusive)

History making demos on green LP! Nearly four decades now, Negative Approach's minimalist and aggressive brand of punk has inspired countless hardcore bands around the globe. Their classic LP, Tied Down, is still considered paramount by most hardcore fans new and old. egative Approach (Detroit, MI) were the undisputed champs of Midwestern hardcore in the early to mid-'80s. Since 1981, led by John Brannon's hoarse wail, with OP Moore on drums and brothers Rob and Graham McCulloch playing guitar and bass respectively, the band concocted an extreme sound devoid of frills. This was first documented on a 10 Song 7" released on Touch and Go Records in 1982. The band released the more metallic-sounding Tied Down in 1983, which became ther definite statement. Here you find the complete June '83 demo session - a little less metallic, one addtional song. Green vinyl, great sleeve artwork, too.
