Grand Griffon - Demo


Arround two years ago, I uploaded the Grand Griffon 7" here. Rough screamo-punkrock by members of old Escapado, Kurhaus and Tackleberry. Well, this "demo" wasn't a real release. These are just three demo songs ("Kein Wort", "Nie mehr so alt", "Von gestern") they provided @ their myspace site quite a while ago. They were later released in a better quality on their s-t 7" respectively on their Protektor 12''. My favourite song is "Von gestern". Check it out.
