National Guard - Unreleased LP [1996]

National Guard's last hurrah came in the form of an unreleased LP in mid 1996.  Intended to come out on a record label that was to be run by Billy Galaxy, the full recording never ended up seeing the light of day.  As things fell through with the CD, the band was also beginning to go through some changes, and with some personnel changes, National Guard ceased to exist by the end of the year.

Recorded at Anonymous Noise in May of 1996 with Karl Brummers, who also engineered recordings by the likes of The Weaklings, Atomic 61, The Automatics and Everclear, there were 21 tracks in total.  Two of those tracks (US Upset and No Way) did get released on the One Big Happy Slam Pit compilation CD.

So here it is, in its full form, the unreleased National Guard LP at 320k and remastered from the master DAT tape.

National Guard - Demo 1995

 National Guard - the best thing to ever come out of David Douglas High School?  Undoubtedly.  These guys were my entrance into the local hardcore punk scene, and were some of the first people that I made friends with outside my shitty world of Centennial High School.

Here's their first demo from 1995 - remastered from the master DAT tape.
