AWOL 69 – Demo

AWOL were an early 1980's precursor to the iconic Orange County hardcore band, Doggy Style. Since Doggy Style and all of its variations had a constantly revolving lineup, over the years several members of AWOL served time in the Doggy Style army, including Ed "Shaggy" Caudill, who carried a few of AWOL's songs over to the Doggy Style roster.

Two of those songs ("Donut Shop Rock" and "Ladies From Neptune") appear on this demo, which was recorded by Paul Roessler of the Screamers and DeadBeats. While these familiar tunes are a welcome addition, the songs that stick out the most are "AWOL" and "City Life," which both show off vocalist, Tim Fyke's hardcore snarl. "Accept It" and "Beat Your Meat" both break things up a bit with some added ska parts to the mix.
