TOMCAT - N.W.O.A.H.C Demo

2026-11-10T20:52:04.000-05:00

Down in NZ, where hc bands revel in mediocrity; people shy away from the concept of the four-track demo and there's a reason for this mentality. It's because the people down here drawn to hc are cowards at worst, and willfully ignorant at best.

TOMCAT, thankfully, are not burdened by this kind of geographical cravenness as they hail from Perth, a city in the middle of a dry desert in Australia over 5000 kilometers from the rotten swamp I'm decaying in.

There's a real feral edge to this tape, the vocals redline perfectly, the drums sound appropriately dogshit (complimentary) and the intro/title track is a raging stomper that demands your attention. I musta jammed this fucker eight times across my four days in and outta the city and never got sick of it.

This is a perfect demo tape, truly required listening for all public transport commuters: when the gentle rock of the train seems to blend with the graffiti in your sleep-deprived mind and you can feel the whole carriage seethe and swell with disgust as the train-pig makes his rounds, looking at your fellow passengers gives you pause for thought "are we all hearing the same thing?"

Yes and you are angry for a reason; you've just heard the TOMCAT demo, and it is good.
