To those unfamiliar, Gunsmoke was a Hardcore band from Walnut Creek, CA. They started around 2004, when Andrew first moved back home from Boston. Initially consisting of just Andrew, Aaron and Donald (all former members of For The Crown), Gunsmoke wasted no time in getting started and quickly recorded their demo with Zach Ohren at Castle Ultimate Studios in the summer of 2004. Although very well received, the demo never really got its due. It was scheduled to be properly released on vinyl as “The Ultraviolet Catastrope” 7", but for unknown reasons it never came out.
I always felt like this was an awesome recording, especially for a first effort and it bothered me that it never received an ‘official’ release. It’s been six years, but this is still powerful Hardcore and an awesome release from an underrated NorCal band. I would definitely recommend this to fans of Bane, American Nightmare and For The Crown. For those that missed out the first time around, here it is…

Did Run For Cover never end up putting this out?
