EYE WITNESS – Demo 2019 – MC (BSR 001)

EYE WITNESS is a band hailing from Salem, USA, a city famous to some for its witches. Their form of hardcore punk is raw and poisonous, heavily rooted in the ugly 80s negative hardcore tradition. Driven by fast, aggressive tempos and a wall of guitar feedback, their sound is highly reminiscent of early, primitive pieces from Poison Idea, Misfits, or the raw ferocity of Italy’s Raw Power.

Before we desecrated this recording in 2021 with our very first catalogue number—released as a strictly limited run of 70 black tapes with direct shell print—the band originally self-released the cassette back in 2019 in a similarly limited DIY run, mostly to support their local gigs. By the way, you might know some of the members from bands like Wanted, Uniformed Service, or Flaccid.

Currently, the band is inactive as some of the members are focusing on new additions to their families and other personal commitments. Even so, stay alert.
