JGJR wrote:Given all the talk about late '80s melodic hardcore on here lately, I thought I'd bump this thread. I think I ask this like once a year in various forums, but does anyone have their 1988 (I think) demo in digital form. I think they were called Subculture then and that most of the songs ended up on the s/t 1988 Wishing Well Lp. I have never come across even a YouTube video of any of the songs or even via torrent sites when I did that many years ago, much less a physical copy. It's the kind of thing I hoped would show up on Blogged and Quartered, but even stormy (whose blog is incredible) didn't have it iirc.

Dude Danger was remixed on that CD too. The Trax info is the remixing. It says recorded there which the story below says the guitars were recorded there and mix with the rest of the song.

Interesting. So it seems like there were three distinct mixes of the album. The Inner Ear mix, which was never released, the Trax remix which is what's on the WW LP, and the second remix which is what's on the CD.
I also never heard the demo referenced upthread.

Based on what is on Discogs, it looks like the LP is the Inner Ear mix.

Saw one at a local shop but it was scratched to shit. Decided to pass. If one shows up at the sellers I deal with or I come across a better copy in the wild, I might buy it. Otherwise I'm satisfied with the sound of the CD and don't really need anything else.

The 12" sounded much better, at least on the not so great equipment I was using back then. I wish I still had both the Dude Danger 12" and the CD, though.

I've never had anything by the band on vinyl. I don't think the Dude Danger tracks are their best work honestly, but that's going off memory, and I've not played the CD in a long time. I do really like the s/t album though and it's kind of there in my memory. My favorite album by the group is Neon actually. Need to grab a copy of Seeing Things at some point to complete the set of early stuff by them.

JGJR wrote:I love Dude Danger, but part of that is seeing those songs played live so so many times from '93-'96 when they reactivated the band. I especially love "Rut" and "Christmas Lights." You should revisit it. I haven't spent that much time with Neon and never owned it despite loving other things on Skene! (notably, Sticks and Stones) from that time period, but when I listened to it, it didn't really do much for me despite (again) having strong memories of their live show during that era. I think the s/t Wishing Well Lp is by far the best thing they ever did, though. Save It is the mid '90s album of theirs that I really dig.

Solid live band. As an opener for Sense Field, Into Another, ALL……really great shows.
My memeory sucks sometimes but I think they opened for Jawbreaker at Maxwells. Unless that was two different shows?
Any other dudes there? I’m looking at you, Midge.
The biggest show they played that I was at was with Sensefield & Into Another at Stone Pony under the Big-Top. ‘94?

I'm listening to the s/t CD now. Re: the volume drop issue, that is because not all the tracks were mastered at the same volume. The s/t portion of the album is DR12 while the Dude Danger tracks are DR14-DR17. My guess is this was either a mistake or the band didn't have the budget to spend on mastering the album so the tracks were roughly level matched.
On a real stereo system, all you have to do is turn up the volume control when it gets to those tracks. On a computer, portable device, etc. you can use replay gain tags or change the volume of the CD rip permanently with software. With software, you need to be careful because adding too much volume can cause the files to clip.

RE: Neon, I think it's worth revisiting. I like Save It also, but it's pretty different in style from the the s/t or Neon.
