DEVIATED INSTINCT

I'm sure this demo (and their other recordings) are readily available online, and questions you might have about the band can be answered here, as the band is playing shows again as of 2007. This 1986 demo came between the Welcome To The Orgy EP and 1988's Rock n' Roll Conformity full length, and is a much more anarcho punk approach to the stenchcore/crust that they would become famous for. While the later LPs strayed a little too far away from punk for may taste, DEVIATED INSTINCT took the torch borne by AMEBIX and marched with it proudly until they split in 1991. Members continued on in SPINE WRENCH, who took the weird parts of DEVIATED INSTINCT and ran with them, and BAIT. Guitarist Mid is a pretty well known artist as well, especially with the crusters...but you must know all of this already, yes? For such a well known and revered band, I'm kinda surprised that these songs haven't been put to wax (at least I haven't found it if they have), and in case you haven't come across them elsewhere here they are.

Actually, the first demo I have says it was recorded September 1985 (got it on a tape along with a live recording from the same year, later released as it's own cassette), and featured a few of the same tracks as this demo, recorded in January 1986. Though I'm not sure whether this was actually released before or after the "Welcome To The Orgy" EP...
The '87 demo is killer as well...though I thought it was called "Total Intense Crust"? Perhaps I'
m confusing it with a different demo...

blah blah, (pushes up glasses), all semantics really, isn't it? The demo rules.
