Mob Mentality — Demo '08


This was the only release by the Charlottesville Mob Mentality. It started as a school project and progressed from there. This is the demo they ended up recording in 2008 at the MRC to help make a name for themselves. It's a pretty solid blend of punk and early hardcore; they always covered World Up My Ass by Circle Jerks if that's any indication of anything. Anyway, here's more Charlottesville history in case you somehow missed it:

Mob Mentality started as an innocuous school project, named after a very uninnocuous event in a park. Jake and Christos started playing some music, and then a couple other Murray students started helping out. It eventually became a full-on band. Somehow I ended up filling in on bass at as many shows as Chris actually played. The show with Wednesday Night Heroes at Rocks in Richmond restored my faith in punk. Not even a dozen shows, but always a solid opening act.
