It's Monday here, so time for another demo, this time from Massachusetts hardcore punks OUTPATIENTS and their 1983 demo, "Basement Tape". It's fast, it's pissed, it's punk as fuck and totally badass. Certainly a band that I never heard of, but I'm happy to have finally been exposed to them as they rip. The first song on the tape, "Fight" is an absolute belter, and it doesn't let up until the tape is over. It's also worth noting that this band has Vis Helland on guitar, who was also in the very extremely super killer band Deep Wound, which I would have to imagine most readers are aware of and into.
Sadly, this tape is just a dub, not an original. Maybe I'll cross paths with it someday but for now this'll do. Has this ever been officially released anywhere? Well, I doubt it's in print even if it was so yeah, just play the recording loud and have a good time like I am right now. Cheers! -DH
