108

I tried to think of something special or some lyrics to start this post off with, but that's a bit too hard to do. 108 is honestly my favorite band hands down. Even with all the shouts about Hare Krishna there isn't anything about the band that turns me off from them. Listening to Solitary over and over again in no way gets old(even with "OH KRISHNA!", no matter how depressing that song is.

I'm sure most of the people who read this know 108 has been around for awhile and that they are on tour as I right this. Releasing a new album very soon on Deathwish to top that off. 108 couldn't be doing things more right. This a bit of a heads up to that they're playing Cincinnati here May 1st, I couldn't be more excited.

In 2006 they went in Static Void studios in California and recorded their first songs in almost 10 years. Released as a demo limited to 1008, this was was before they put out "A New Beat From A Dead Heart" in 2007. They sold most of these on their European tour in January of 2007 and some they put up on their web store for a short time. 2 songs didn't get released on that full length, and this also includes a Bad Brains cover, a Black Flag cover and version of Blood where Vic sings, which I don't think is a whole lot different. Rob's voice sounds pretty raw and it just makes it sound even better.

You can buy their discography that was released before this demo at Revhq.com , Deathwishinc.com or any other distro really. You can download a spoken word tape from One Path and a live album + Curse of Instinct at Stuck In the Past. Also, i'm looking for their 1991 demo and the demo released before Three Fold Misery, if anyone has these songs and could upload them to me, that would super.

And you can download the 2006 demo right here.
