So this appears to be an early demo version of three songs that were re-recorded for Searching for Survivors. These are different versions than the official ones, but still within the garage rock / DIY style. According to a comment that Adam left on this blog, this recording was a bit more cleaned up than the later tape (where the producer wanted to leave mistakes in). Overall, these three songs sound a bit more cohesive here, and you can see the sound they are going for more. Such is life in Underground – make sure to read the comment on their other tape to see where they went from here.
