The Flex - Demo (Tape)



The Flex is a new band from the UK, with members of Perspex Flesh and Closure. Musically, they remind me a lot of Think I Care, but with a heavy Boston influence (SSD/ DYS/ Xclaim!). Plain, mean, dirty hardcore for the hardcore!” - Jeff DeSantis from BleedingEdges Records, USA.
This Demo makes a good first post due to it’s gritty nature and raw energy, this is influenced by early ’80s blistering hardcore, yet was only recorded earlier this year (2012). These guys are from that same northern circle of blokes who play in a whole host of bands; closure, sick-fuckin-o, bonestorm, anguish… and it goes on (to include Voorhees and Rot In Hell). So, if you know those bands, you should know what to expect.
This is a good place to start.
I have, unfortunately not done my homework, so I only know of a US distro which stocks this tape. You can buy it here: http://bleedingedges.bigcartel.com 
Limited to 100 copies with re-designed cover art on pro duplicated red cassettes, with printed sticker labels. (5 songs)
You can download it HERE.
