Strike 3 - 'Side By Side' demo

Another demo I got from Jim Moo Cow. Strike 3 was a hardcore band from New Hampshire in the mid 90s. Here's their 'Side By Side' demo from 1996. This is seriously heavy mid-tempo hardcore, with deep vocals. While this band is pretty unknown and I don't think they did much in the way of touring or recording, singer Caleb Scofield would eventually move on to play bass in a more well-known band called Cave In. Anyways, Strike 3 sounds nothing like Cave In. But this is a pretty solid demo, esp if you like heavy bands such as Unconquered, so definitely give it a shot. I have no idea if Strike 3 did any other recordings or what the other members did after Strike 3. So if anybody has any additional info, please leave a comment!

Hey it’s Joel I played drums on this. There was another demo that Jody from In-Like played drums on but the masters were destroyed and lost to time. Band broke up in 1997 after we went on tour with Cave-In and Caleb joined them. Adam on guitars plays in a rock cover band now and Duane does some independent indie rock work. I’m a family guy and unfortunately we know what happened to K, RIP. This was an AMAZING era for hardcore music here in the northeast and I look upon that time fondly. The world will never know a time like that again!
