Shin Kick — Anger Attack Demo '07

This is the original demo that we put out half way through 2007. We recorded and mixed it in like an hour at the MRC in downtown Charlottesville. It has as many covers as originals, and Dre says ridiculous things somewhere in just about every song. Anyway, it has better quality recording than the later demo, but the vocals had to be censored a little bit due to the MRC's lyrics policy. Oh well, can't complain too much when you're recording for free. This upload is the re-release version, which has a live-basement recording of Brobleed from the short period when Pat played drums and Dre was on second guitar. Oh, nostalgia.

Here's the band bio from the hardcopy zine:
Shin Kick: 2006-2008

Marley — Vox
Sam — Guitar
Straume — Bass
Dre — Drums

Where do I begin? Shin Kick was the band that put Cville back on the map. It was a side project from the then-big M2S and Demagiggle, because Sam wanted to start an 80's hardcore band with me. We recruited Dre and Straume, recorded a demo that had as many covers as originals, played the single MRC show we ever booked, and had the maximum amount of fun possible. At the end of the summer of '07, Dre went to the farm and Pat stepped in to be our drummer. This is when things got serious. With a functioning band as impetus, Sam started booking shows at DUST. I can't begin to say how important Sam, and his connection to Curt at DUST, has been to the scene. At least 90% of the shows any of us played were there; it was literally vital. 

Anyway, months passed, xSKx played assloads of shows and almost as many sweet 80's covers, and Cville began to actually produce music, other bands forming to help out on those same shows. Eventually we recorded a low-quality EP in Sam's basement (while his mom made us lots of delicious food), and went on tour, the first band to do so since Insurgency's misadventure. For more on that, get in touch with me or read Got Myself #1. Unfortunately, we had kind of played ourselves out by the end of that spring; the sets were always basically the same, and it got to be more of a hassle to play than was worth. By the end of the year we had thrown in the towel. Maybe we weren't the best band, but we sure as hell tried. We were Charlottesville hardcore punk, nothing more, nothing less. No regrets.
