A local band from Cleveland, A pretty good one at that I must say. The intro track was pretty funny. It was a punch line from a movie "you can't miss the bear, it'll tear you open like a present from your mamma on Christmas morning" a perfect way to use movies to a intro track which makes it somewhat funnier to listen too.

"Optimal Killzone"
Basically the intro track to this small 3 song demo. The first few seconds are the best with that little skit. It was pretty funny to me. The song is good itself as-well.
Breakdown:
Cleans: For a little bit the clean vocals are  in the song.
Screams: Mostly screams in the song. Kind of sounds pissed off, Which is good to show some mood in songs and vocal tones.
Instruments: Pretty Heavy for a intro track.

"I Don't Believe In Miracles, I Believe In Pittsburgh"
I didn't get the title. I think it's an inside joke with the bands, The first few seconds you hear the screamer then the guitar/bass/drums come in quickly. Probably one of my favorite songs on this demo. The little snyth thingy was a bit trippy though.
Cleans: The clean vocals are mixed in with the screams near the end. On-balance with each other which is pretty good
Screams: Basically all screams mixed in with some cleans. the whole demo is like this which is good. The screams/cleans are insanely good.
Instruments: Theirs a little synth part in the middle, other than that little soft-spot this song is really heavy.

"One Day We're Gonna Look Back On This And Hit A Parked Car"
Same as the other, probably an inside joke with the band on the title. This one starts off a little differently than the others. Starts off with the cleans the goes from there. Save the best for last! This song is probably my second favorite song on this demo.
Cleans; The clean vocals start this song off and then they're gone for a bit then comeback.
Screams: They're here as-well they're balanced a bit with the clean vocalist.
Instruments: They go like this heavy-soft-heavy it changes up a bit which is good.
This is only the demos for a bigger release coming. Hopefully!
