Lockjaw: Demos 1982-1983 12"
Portland hardcore punk. Their first recordings from '82 '83.
Our take: The Spanish label Antitodo continues to raid the vaults of 80s Portland hardcore band Lockjaw, this time unearthing 8 demo tracks for this one-sided 12â. The packaging is thin on information, but Iâm guessing the first six tracks come from an earlier demo as they sound like theyâre more influenced by 70s punk, though the bandâs trademark nihilism is already there. âBack Doorâ and âDevilâ have a rock-and-roll tinge a la Black Market Baby, while the more straightforward âDead Friendsâ has a Teen Idles vibe. Things speed up for the last two tracks, by which time the band has arrived at the blazing hardcore you know from their two 7âs. While a few tracks from the 7âs appear in different versions, thereâs enough new-to-us material that Lockjaw fans will want to scoop this up, particularly given the great sound and attractive packaging.
