During my recent search for rare tapes online (which produced a good number of the last few tapes posted here), I came across a video by this band. In that video description is a link to download the album! I had an old tape scan of the j-card (see above) that only lists the first eleven songs in the download. There are seven more songs in the download – so I am not sure where they came from. It could be a second demo out there, or extra songs on a CD release of this tape? To my ears, it sounds like they might have come from some different recording sessions? I could be wrong. Anyways, this is rock/hard rock that would appeal to people that like Petra/White Heart/JAG/etc but occasionally want something heavier (but not heavy metal). There are also several Scarlet Rose bands out there – I think this is the only Christian one.
