Raw Deal Demo ('88 Demo)
“I’m trapped behind a wall of hate that no one sees inside.”
Raw Deal Demo ('88 Demo)
Before becoming Killing Time, the band recorded this essential demo under the name Raw Deal. Gritty, aggressive, and packed with attitude, it captured the raw energy of New York hardcore in its purest form. Featuring early versions of tracks like “Telltale” and “Brightside,” the demo spread quickly through tape-trading and built serious buzz in the underground scene.
