Treason - Demo

Treason formed sometime in late 2002, and only played a handful of shows in their very brief existence. Mark (vocals) had previously sung for Breaker Breaker and Connor (drums) had been singing for the Lab Rats. Treason’s sound was sort of a cross between bands like American Nightmare and some of the more ‘messier’ sounding San Diego bands like Swing Kids and Heroin. Although it’s not totally my thing, this band definitely played this style a lot better than most.

This demo was recorded at Castle Ultimate studios in Oakland by Zach Ohren and originally released on cassette tape. This recording was also rumored/supposed to be released on vinyl as a 7” EP, but unfortunately that never happened. Following Treason’s break-up, both Kevin and Connor would quickly go on to form Lights Out in early 2003. This 10-song demo clocks in at roughly 7 minutes, so if you like really messy, chaotic, FAST hardcore, then check this one out. The cover art has been resized just to be a little bit more itunes friendly.
