A raging 1983 demo from yet another mystery band. Absolutely ripping UK hardcore, with a few rather typical tracks (the vocals on "Nothing Left" are textbook sing-song punk, and "Survive" is a superb, though by-the-books number), but a couple of these songs are total standouts (especially "Believe In Me," which is a complete scorcher but features a posi-core chorus that would make 7 SECONDS proud, not exactly what the UK was churning out in '83). BRAIN DAMAGE hailed from Scotland, graced us with this seven track ripper, and then two of these songs appeared on a 1986 BCT compilation...that's all folks.

congratulations from Ibiza-Spain
awesome. where did you get this from?
these guys were from here in Dundee and actually got back together briefly in 2003 (there are photos are on the ENZK site)
some of the members from the later part of the eighties went on to be in broccoli, engage and intentions.
don't suppose you have any Exalt stuff?
no Exhalt stuff, seen the name only. would have been interesting to see the 2003 Brain Damage gig(s)!
Never thought this would turn up. Thanks Grant. I know we've got some stuff on soundcloud. I have the existing Master on Reel and am looking for it to be made digital. Thankyou for your comments guys ,much appreciated.
