about

Recorded at Stallet 2009 about 6 months after we formed the band. These songs are previously unreleased but we used to play Mediocracy live.

I remember when Robban and I met at Verket in the late summer of 2008 and he looked for a drummer for his hardcore band. I had just played drums now and then for fun, playing along with a headset plugged to my mp3-player, but felt I needed to step up my game in a real band.
We started playing own material from the first rehearsal which was new to me. I had suggested some covers I knew but Andreas, Robban and Tobbe insisted on trying some riffs Andreas had. Those riffs were the intro for Mediocracy.
I didn´t know to much about what kind of hardcore the others were aiming at but I liked to play fast and was inspired by Bad Religions Brooks Wackerman and that seemed to fit their mold.
The most hilarious thing about our first rehearsal was that the drums lacked a stool, I don´t know why, so during the whole session I had to use a Cajón to sit on!
After about six months of rehearsal we recorded these songs at Stallet and I honestly don´t remember to much about it. Maybe because we just saw it as a simple demo and to see how we did in a studio. Apart from Mediocracy we quickly moved on with new material and I don´t think we ever played these songs live except at our 2-3 first gigs?
