Screamers - Pat Garrett Demos 1977

[@AlexRadeffandDonkey]

Thanks for posting this, The Screamers are a band I've been fascinated by since seeing them here in Toronto on Halloween 1978 at The Horseshoe Tavern. I can't forget them 40 years later, that really says something.

The artist N8NOFACE got me into the screamers. I can see where N8 gets his voice from. This band is amazing. I love N8NOFACE's cover of 122 hours of fear on the hoodstocks podcast.

It's such a great feeling when you discover "new" music.

Beyond creative

Pat Garrett was one of the founding creators of DANGERHOUSE records in LA and also a member of Black Randy's Metrosquad. Dangerhouse produced many of LAs early punk bands first, and in many cases only, singles. This is the closest thing we would get to a true "Studio Album" by the screamers. Even more so than the Geza X in my opinion, which while are good are still very stripped down compared to these. this stuff is important

Matar Delores is an amazing track....always loved it and peer pressure as a kid but didn't here this version of magazine love or punish or be damned until alot later....this version of punish or be damned is so weird...heavy use of drum machine and different keyboards on this one I can hear

The first time I heard "Mater Delores" I was floored. Tomata had some serious Catholic damage (like me). I miss him

[@playbackphantasy]

I heard this song not too long ago. I never heard a track as sick as this. From start to finish, perfection. I jam this out so hard, volume cranked, flying down the free ways of Phoenix. Such a kool desolate track for such desolate treks.

@@playbackphantasy Hey from downtown Phx! If you ever see a beater hauling ass up I-10, blasting Mater Delores and 122 Hours of Fear full volume, that's usually me getting off work lol

This is great. The first thing I heard from The Screamers was a set of 77-78 demos and there's an annoying hum that runs through it.

[@jeffrice6403]

I was able to remove that hum with some recording software. It still doesn't sound as good as this stuff but I was able to make it more listenable. I'll upload that hum/hiss-free version one of these days.

This version of Magazine Love is so sick
