CLOWN ALLEY demo tape 01. The Prey 02. The Party Ends 03. Bombs 04. Crazy Eyes 05. Turn the Television On 06. The Theme 07. Brains Format: demo tape Released: 1985

Reviews: A seven-song release from this up-and-coming SF band, most of which are thrash. There's a heaviness to their sound, which becomes even more apparent on the two slower numbers, powerful post-punk dirges. Dave (ex-JERRY'S KIDZ from Albuquerque) sounds good, and the band is tight and strong, though I think the super-clean production here detracts a bit from their normally noise-intense live performance standard. A band to watch. -Tim Yohannan (from Maximum Rocknroll #33, February 1986)
