Lowlife - Bay Area Hardcore Demo 2000


Lowlife was a very heavy Hardcore band that was based out of the Fremont area. Formed sometime around 1996, they released their first demo in 1998, followed by this one in early 2000. Originally released on cassette tape, this recording features 3 studio tracks and a live song (recorded at the Danville Grange, November of 1999). Probably my favorite Lowlife release, this demo seemed to be a real turning point for the band, they were very active around this time, playing shows all over the West Coast.

Lowlife released a full length cd on Breakout Records entitled “Nowhere Bound” somewhere around late 2000/early 2001. They recorded one more full length (unreleased) just prior to their breakup sometime around late 2003/early 2004. Members of Lowlife would eventually go on to play in bands like Powerhouse, Time For Living, Resist Control and Massacre Time. I’d definitely recommend this to fans of heavy HARDcore, especially bands like Bulldoze and Blood For Blood. Big thanks to Jackson Driscoll Lantz a.k.a. "Action Jackson" for ripping this from cassette tape.
