HAYMAKER "Demo" LP set




"Christians are just like diapers, so useless and full of shit"

I suppose the creation of this record is a somewhat worthwhile endeavor when you consider just how few original HAYMAKER demos exist and what little effort was put towards their circulation. This is in stark contrast to the DUMPTRUCK Demo 7" soon to be released. I mean, who doesn't have that fucking recording already? I've never been one for "creating collectibles", especially unnecessary ones by putting to vinyl a piece of music that 75% of the hardcore scene already has. But I digress, the sound here is raw and unpolished and HAYMAKER hadn't come close to hitting their stride yet but these songs serve as a history lesson of sorts for the metallic machine that would close clubs, dodge cops, throw fire extinguishers at the crowd and fight security guards without hesitation. While my favorite HAYMAKER material will always be the LP stuff, Chuck D said that if you don't know the past, you can't know the future. Pictured above is the regular press, the limited press out of 100 and a test press out of 20.
