RIG - Demolstruct (CASS)

This collection encapsulates RIG’s early years (1990-1993), right before signing with Cruz Records in 1994. The featured cassette includes RIG’s first-ever (demo) recordings produced at the tail end of 1990. Cassettes were dubbed and passed around which helped get their initial shows starting in mid-1991. This cassette also comes with a download code that includes five bonus tracks: one track from a live performance on KXLU 88.9 FM in 1991, three tracks from a split 7” with Oiler (Long Beach) released in 1992 (Piece of Mind Records) and one track from the Beautiful Music to Throw Blows To 7” kompilation (w/ F.Y.P, Rosemary’s Billygoat & Pocket) released in 1993 (J-Sin Records).

“What does greed sound like? What do smokestacks choking the sky sound like? What does unbridled capitalism sound like? Rhythmic, metallic and cacophonous. RIG was inspired by these qualities and aspired to pull a judo move by juxtaposing lyrics that were critical of the very soundtrack they themselves were producing. Lyrics about exploitation and injustice backed by clanking, chugging machinery. From the beginning that was the vision and intent of RIG.”
