Future plans involve imbedded players from various sources, but, for now, demos!
This is an outdated sort of format here, so let me explain:
These files contain music, okay? BUT, they're also free.
No, this doesn't violate the basic laws of physics.
You want to click with the right mouse button and "save as" or whatever your fancy-pants browser says.
We realize this is a lot of, like, manual labor, and we do apologize.
GUN / LAD - Two song split disc featuring The Playback and The Playback's favorite band The Playback:
01. Give Up Now. This is a snide "Hey, you, you're using alcohol as a crutch" song.
02. London After Dark. This is one of those, "you're in college, so write a song about an obscure bit of what you're learning" songs. Based on Edward R. Murrow's broadcasts from London during the German bombing campaigns in WWII.
Recorded in 2005 at Studio One for stupid amounts of money.
This demo, combined with these four songs, make our two thousand and six song demo:
03. Ideal Mess. You're an engineer out of coal, you're a submarine diver drowning. This is a snide break-up song.
04. Arms. This song has fallen into disuse. It's lyrically abstract and, yes, we too think the chorus is a bunch of yelling yappy crap. Pretty ending, though, right?
05. We are All Liars. Deny it!
06. Jack's Low Blood Sugar. This song is a first person account of waking up out of a diabetic faint in the back of an ambulance.
Recorded in 2006 in a middle school band room and mixed at Elm St. Studios by a very reasonable Ryan Wert. www.lansingrecording.com
Bonus tracks and, like, extra-demo demos:
XX. Regards From Berlin. Recorded at Elm St. and mixed by Anthony Sorise. I added a bunch of guitar layers at home that were mixed inappropriately interms of the parts of the song we are capable of actually playing. Featured on a Bermuda Mohawk sampler that I've never seen a copy of.
XX. Jack's Low Blood Sugar (remix)
XX. Downshift. Initial instrumentation demo for London After Dark, featuring structure differences and programmed drums. It's good to have a drummer.
XX. New Song 12. Initial instrumentation demo for RGBCRTTV, featurning a whole different bridge, more fake drums, and played many bpm too slow.
XX. Science!. Instrumental demo for our song Futureproof. Features a lof of synth that we're not good enough to play and still sing, fake drums and our only guitar solo bridge, to date, which has since been scrapped.
