The Cost

I won't gush too much, but this band was my favorite for a good part of my life. They had the nerve to evolve and change, which alot of east bay bands never did, and at each stage they blew my mind wide open. I am forever appreciative for that.

The Cost - S/T (New Disorder)

The Cost/DBS split 7"


The Cost - Chimera (Lookout)

The Cost - Practice Demos (Unreleased)
*these were recorded by the band in their practice space. duh.

Midnight Laserbeam



They scared the shit out of me the first time I saw them. I had no idea what was going on. You probably won't understand that by listening to the records, but they had two drummers and a guy screaming into the mic. When you are 14 and you go to Gilman to hear more bands that sound like Rancid, this situation will frighten you. I had never heard sounds like this. Being scared was awesome.
