On drums, the young Mike Ferraro, later famous for his lead singer role in Judge, just like Jimmy Yu, who stayed on guitar. Yu's brother, Steve, was also in DBD. On vocals, Mark Ryan delivers the first verse of his long, harsh, profound, educated and mind-altering lyrical path. The second verse can be heard on a record titled The Earth Is Flat, an effort released by the band Supertouch, which also featured both Yu brothers. Not surprisingly, some DBD songs went on to be early Supertouch songs.
DBD was music for skinheads, with grooves these kids never heard before. Take Deadlock at 1:47: right at this point this becomes a Supertouch song, sincere, different, fresh. Most songs have similar patterns, sometimes starting mellow, dark, questioning (and almost bordering with post-punk sensibilities), and ending completely hard. This demo will grow on you and it's significance in NYHC history should never be ignored.
