Locked Up in Life! demos

Locked Up in Life! - demosPretty much all credit for this post goes to Brainwrecked, a great blog that I discovered a little while ago. I woke up at 4:30am this morning for no apparent reason, started wasting time online, and outta nowhere noticed that this dude had somehow managed to get his hands on two demos from James Ismean's pre-Fury of Five band Locked Up in Life!—"Death Holds the Key" (1991) and "Incarcerated (1992). I've mentioned this band a few times here, and have been searching for any potential recordings for years, so I was completely psyched to stumble upon 'em this morning, and decided to pass the word along right away. I haven't even had time to listen to these demos in full yet, but they seem incredibly solid, and the material's rather comparable to the band's friends in Social Decay. (Edit: Holy shit. Despite the rough sound, these demos are fucking incredible. God damn I wish this band did some proper releases!) I spent an hour or so trying to clean up the files a little bit, but the "Death Holds the Key" tracks are still on the rough side. Certainly not unlistenable, though:

Again, huge props to Josh from Brainwrecked for tracking these demos down and making them available to the world. Incredible! You can check out his original Locked Up in Life! post here.

  2. I can’t believe no one else has commented on this considering how many comments my Social Decay post got.  Maybe most of the people into this stuff bailed because I’m posting too much non-hardcore lately, ha…

  3. I’ve wanted to post something but didn’t have time to listen all songs. What I heard was enough for me to wish that someone will release this on compilation CD… If I have golden fish…

  5. Completely ridiculous that this is not mastered and released on cd. Add it to the list, I guess.

  6. Yo dude I hadn’t posted yet ‘cause I hadn’t check your website in a week or two, but thanks so fucking much !!

    I always wanted to get my ears on this, and it doesn’t disappoint, even with such a rough sound. I wish somedy had scanned the inserts too.

    If anyone has Position Of Power mp3s please make this shit available ! Every Fury fan out there needs to hear this.

  8. Thanks for checking out the blog! I’m glad someone else can appreciate this stuff as much as I do. I’ve got a lot more in store. I’m waiting on getting a USB turntable, and a better way to rip tapes. Got some fun stuff sitting on the back burner. Thanks for the linkup also!
