Ash - Jack Names The Planet (Shed Demo Tape 1992)

Ash - Jack Names The Planet (Shed Demo Tape 1992)

nformation About This Demo:
- Shed was recorded in September 1992 at Cosmic Ray's 8-Track Studio. However, the studio only had 7-tracks because the 8th track was broken.
- The cover was designed and drawn my Mark Hamilton (the bassist) and features a picture of a tool shed on it and a guy peering through a window.
- This demo tape included the first song, "Jack Names The Planets," which was to become a single nearly two years later. It is a very early version of the song.
- This demo tape really exposes Ash's early dark punk-grunge style with songs such as "Old Guy (Age Concern)," "Cruelty Street Contest," "Little Duck," "Chorus Pedal," and "Get Out." Ash eventually strayed from this style of music by the time their second and most popular album, 1977, was released in 1996. Really, the only songs ever heard of again that were from this genre were "Get Out" which appeared on Trailer and "Cruelty Street Contest" which appeared on Ash's final compilation demo tape, Pipe Smokin' Brick.
- This demo tape included several songs that would later be released as b-sides and the first recording of "Intense Thing," which later appeared on Trailer, Ash's first album. "Different Today" would later appear on the U.S. version of Trailer. "Things" later became a b-side to the "Petrol" single, Ash's second single.
- "Waterfall" is unique in the fact that it was recorded again MUCH later as a b-side to the "Candy" single in 2001.
- "Goodbye Tractor" was Ash's first completely instrumental song.

@RIVEXNGLE fair enough. Good luck anyways!

@SuperMegabar *sign* We went with the midi, but that doesn't mean we didn't try to record the drums. We tried for a week straight, but we kept running into noise issues. Our equipment is pretty faulty (cheap and all), and we don't have a mixing board (we run all microphone cables through the PA).

Someday, we will record with actual drums, but this is just a demo.

[SuperMegabar]

@RIVEXNGLE Dude. NOTHING beats Actual Drums. I'm a musician i know, Actual Drums just have more of a energy and feel to em.

Today, the band I'm in got in a fight over if we should use midi drums or actual drums for our demo. We're new to the recording scene, and midi drums offer a more crisp sound.

I didn't say much the whole day. The only thing that ran through my head was this song, and how much it changed over the years.

Hopefully we can do the same, and make something truly awesome with what we have. Even if it means starting out with a gritty sound like this.

cannot understand words in songs

The name for this song came from a chapter in the book "The Talisman" by Stephen King and Peter Straub. It's about a kid (Jack Sawyer) who travels betweens our world and an alternate world called the territories. Researching that book is what led me to find this song. I'm glad I stumbled across it, I like it.

Kiss, kiss.

This is pretty much the stage where my band is at. I'd love to hear what people think. Just search
