Demo Kicks returns to the lineup of Charlie Harper, Nicky Garratt, Paul Slack, and Pete Davies as they work through “Brand New Age,” “Kicks,” “Emotional Blackmail Part 1,” and “Same Thing.” Henry Rollins bought the original multitrack at auction and brought it to Inner Ear, where he worked with Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara on the mixes. Three previously unreleased versions and a new mix of “Same Thing” make this more than a familiar-song collection: it opens a small, vivid window onto the band in 1979.
“these newly found demos are the superior versions”
