The Adolescents-'Complete Demos 1980-1986'(Frontier), April 2, 2005
This review is from: Naughty Women in Black Sweaters: The Complete Demos 1980-1986 (Audio CD)
Until I got this disc,I've never even heard of this Southern California hardcore punk band,which existed between 1980-1989.Total of sixteen tracks.Even though it's cutting room floor material,the music is decent.I usually enjoy hearing a band's demos ANYWAY.I know that many fans out there don't.Sometimes a demo CAN sound better than the actual lp version.Tunes that had me leaving this CD in my 'current rotation stack' were "Black Sheep","No Friends","Wrecking Crew","Do The Eddie"(good guitar playing)and "Richard Hung Himself".Line-up:Tony Reflex-vocals,Frank Agnew-guitar,Steve Soto-bass and Casey Royer-drums.Should appeal to fans of Bad Brains,Fugazi,Fear,Minor Threat and Agent Orange.Enjoy!

Not Bad, June 30, 2005
This review is from: Naughty Women in Black Sweaters: The Complete Demos 1980-1986 (Audio CD)
Five of the best tracks here have previously been tacked onto the great "Live 1981 and 86" cd. If you already own that, you're left with some early, bratty basement or garage recordings of first-set songs that got quickly dumped from their repertoire, which are interesting but not too listenable, and a few more pre-Blue album demos, including the awesome "Creatures" and "Amoeba". A worthy purchase for those tunes alone, in my opinion.
