DISTEMPER


Blazing four song demo from Scotland's DISTEMPER that someone asked for last week.  Were it not for the white hot guitar sound I might consider this Oi! but the guitar is so gloriously blown to hell it practically places these tunes in a genre all their own. This 1984 tape and one track on a Scotland compilation EP the following year are all that DISTEMPER graced us with, but if you're going to leave a legacy, it might as well be punk as fuck.

Great one indeed! There was 1 track missing on mine. But now I see this is also a different version of 'Insane Society' than the one on the V/A 7".


For you lazy ones that want track #3 - find it on the V/A Ha Last Week... tape ;)

just re-zipped and re-uploaded the demo, sorry for the glitch.
was a pleasure fixing it, as it gave me an excuse to listen to that scorching guitar again!!

Distemper also put out a six track tape titled "Up Against The Wall" after the initial demo and the NVS comp. 7" appearance.
