Shane the Pain: Guitar and Back-up Vocals,
Macko the Wacko: Bass and Vocals
3 long hairs from the suburbs that were always at Toronto hardcore / crossover / thrash metal shows in the late 1980 / early 1990s.
* This is missing two songs.
One song was the funny, repetitive "Skip in the Record". The other was "Close Shave", which the band dropped from the set list after whiny punks / liberal hardcore-types complained it was "misogynist". Whatever. It wasn't that great of a song, but it irritated me that others criticized them, and the band were the laid-back, beer drinking-type dudes from what I remember, and didn't think it was important enough to argue over.
They wrote another song instead. (Forgot what it was called, but they played it live).
Many years ago, I asked Bass player/singer Cory Mogk from H.A.Y. if he could upload the entire tape, but he never did.
Also, he messaged back, the tape was from 1986, not 1989, but 1989 was when Shane gave me a copy; he compiled rehearsal tracks in 1989 and handed it out to zines and radio stations, without first informing the 2 other members.
