First demo cassette from EGFC.<\/p>\n

I love those early cassette demo tapes from the 80’s….before CD’s and MP3’s, cassette tape demos and compilation tapes are how bands got their names around.\u00a0 Most bands did exactly what EGFC did, stuck a boom box in the corner of their parents basement while they rocked out their best tunes.\u00a0 Then they sold or gave away as many as they could to get the name around and hopefully get a show.\u00a0 I remember heading to the local record store (in my case Northern Lights, FlipSide or Cheapo) and checking out the band demos that sat on the counter.\u00a0 It might take a month to sell out a box of tapes, but it was fun.<\/p>\n

Today bands just find a friend with a laptop and a bootlegged copy of ProTools, and they make a pretty slick sounding recording that they can post to a MySpace page for the whole world to hear.\u00a0 Times were different back then.\u00a0 Not that having a good sounding recording of your early material is bad, that part is great.\u00a0 But it’s almost too easy now.\u00a0 Anyone can\u00a0 start up a MySpace page in 10 minutes and get all their friends linked to it within a day.\u00a0 No effort.\u00a0 No cost.\u00a0 It’s all free.<\/p>\n

Relive those old days with an old crappy demo tape.\u00a0 Done the way old crappy demo tapes were meant to be done.<\/p>\n
