The Undecided were a pop punk band mostly known for releasing two albums for Tooth & Nail Records. Apparently the band formed once, released a full-length, called it off for a while, then came back in 1997 with a new bassist and eventually released their first CD for T&N in 1999. This tape has no date on it, but it has the new bassist, and all four songs appear again on their self-titled T&N debut. So I guessed 1998 for a date, but it could be 1997 or 1999. The sound on this demo is typical of your late 90s pop punk – fast, poppy punk with layered background vocals. Some punk purists don’t claim it as punk, but for fans of this sub-genre, they do it well.
