This is either a demo or collection of demos that was shared by the band on SoundCloud. The SoundCloud page says there is one song missing, but I don’t know what it is. There are several Messenger bands out there, but this one plays a melodic commercial hard rock sound that would have been in style in 1985. They even compare themselves to Petra on the SoundCloud page, which often is a good comparison. But they are probably a bit more on the heavy side that Petra, getting almost close commercial metal at times. The last song also sounds like it may have been from a different demo or recording session.

Missing Information: Who played on this? What is the missing song? Also need scans of the actual j-card and tape.
