Killing The Dream - Demo 2003

As requested, here's Killing The Dream's 2003 Demo.

"Killing the Dream formed in Sacramento, California in 2002 with guitarist Joel Adams of Embrace the End, bassist Chris Chase, drummer Isaac Fratini and vocalist Elijah Horner. After recording a five-song demo tape in 2003, the group added second guitarist Bart Mullis—also of Embrace the End. The songs from this demo made up half of their self-titled debut album, released in 2004 through Rival Records."

The band later released two records, Fractures and Lucky Me through Deathwish, breaking up in July 2011.

Down Again - Voices

Bandcamp

Facebook

"Representing the new wave of hardcore from San Diego, Down Again play a fast, pissed off, slightly metallic brand of hardcore with plenty of mosh parts and singalongs played over angry and pessimistic lyrics and vocals that sounds a bit like current kings Retaliate and Terror and old favorites Integrity and Judge.

Started in 2006 in Brian Mark's garage. The Down Again demo was released that summer with a follow up full length record on Nick Jett's (Terror) label New View Records. It is now out of print. Brian Mark remains a great friend but was replaced by Cesar Ruiz in 2008. With the emergence of Take Offense, Down Again slowed down but never broke up."
