No Laughing Matter - 3 Song Demo
This Three Song Demo was recorded back in 1989 in between Discernment and Monstor. It was a six-month experiment with Ted Worthless switching to Bass and the addition of Gavin Affatica on guitar. More of an accessible, straight-ahead rock sound was prevalent on these three tunes. These tunes were in the hands of very few people at the time, and even fewer still today. Nate Stiffler was on drums, and Scott Roman was on Vocals.
Interesting side note: There were two photos of the band taken for this project. Both of the buildings were either torn down or burned down after the pictures were taken. The pictures we took for Discernment were at a train station that burned down, and the picture on the back of the Monstor CD was taken inside the remains of then drummer Dave Blomgren's home, which had caught fire and burned down. Strange but true.......

No Laughing Matter - Live Skate Benefit
The Live Skate Benefit Concert took place on November 28th, 1987. It's purpose was to raise money to support the Skateboarding club that hung out in our church's parking lot at the time. While we practiced at the church, the skaters would practice tricks and jumps, etc. ! At that time, it was quite a big deal in the area. The concert took place outside in the courtyard of the church, and attracted alot of skaters and their supporters. The acoustics were horrible, as the courtyard was enclosed by block walls! Recorded with a four track! The file consists of two tracks - Part 1 of the concert, and Part 2 of the concert. This was also the only recording we have that features Joe "Lizardman" Domikaitis on Bass. Enjoy!!!!

No Laughing Matter - Monstor
Originally released on Worthless Records on cassette only, This Critically acclaimed project was re-released on R.E.X. records on CD in 1990. Songs like the title cut, and Bad Blood, were groundbreaking at the time of their release. The group was labeled as being too dark or "negative" for christian music, and would part ways with R.E.X just before starting work on their follow-up project. In the words of one Christian Music Executive ...."you guys are the bastards of Christian Rock!" A label the band wore with pride as they refused to compromise on what they believed was a message and style that God had called them to!Songs include: CF10, Bad Blood, Monstor, If The Truth Be Known, Lifeline, You See It All, Helltown, I Can See It Coming, Frail & Thin, I Need Your Touch, and Tuesday's Child Awakened.
