Here is just a pretty obscure swedish one, maybe Strapp could comin up with more infos about this band? According to the MA their demo should have 5 Tracks, my demo featured 8 Tracks. Unfortunately the demo has just only a small inlay with the title tracks and the band Line-Up (pseudonyms?) without any more infos!
INFO GIVEN AS REQUESTED //Strappado ;)
Formed as STORMBRINGER in the early 80's. STORMBRINGER changed their name to PHOENIX in 1986 and a 4-track demo-tape was recorded the same year.
Just as the new name was adapted the band had some line-up changes and also a name-change "again". PHOENIX was now called NEW BRAND. They recorded a second demo in 1986 (8-tracks). They changed their name back to PHOENIX again in 1987.
The NEW BRAND 1986 demo was reviewed in the french zine: L'ame de Fond #7. Here is a translation of what was written: Straight from Sweden here is the demo of the year. Super production, music style similar to PRETTY MAIDS, FIFTH ANGEL and OVERDRIVE. Hard, rhythmic, melodic and hooking, which fully reflect the technical musicians. The solos are heavy. Perfect music, with very good soaring vocals more or less comparable to P. Monteiro of STEEL ANGEL..
Johan Renck / Stakka Bo (Jordan B. Riche / Rudy B Jade) - Vocals (Stormbringer, Phoenix)
Thomas Jörlöv (Sandy Russel) - Guitars (Stormbringer, Phoenix)
Jonas Westerlund (West Jacksson) - Guitars (Phoenix)
Jonas Åkerlund (Rick Robin) - Bass (Phoenix)
Jonas Langebro (Jake Langsome) - Drums (Stormbringer, Phoenix, Bai Bang)

Please note: The tracks "Free" and "Let Me Know" will have a totally different sound quality than the others songs! There's nothing wrong with the ripping ;)
