Hi,
The Youtube channel "Rare Thrash" uploaded track 4 ("Propaganda") off of 'Demo '96 by "No Name". This was literally the only place I could find anything about this band on the internet.
Unfortunately last night his channel was deleted for copyright infringement. All evidence of this band's existence is gone off the internet. Luckily I got his email before he account got terminated. I emailed him for some more information on the band and he hasn't gotten back to me yet.
I need more information on this band. Audio clips, any information possible. He said in the description of the video that he thought there was a chance that the tape he had was the only one left.
The band was from the West part of Switzerland. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I need to track down the tape. The only evidence I have that this band exists is these cropped screenshots from the video:
Thanks guys!

UPDATE 1:
I purchased the demo. In very unexpected turn of events it popped up on Ebay and I bought it. I should be to my place in around a month or so. (Shipping from Switzerland).
WHAT WE KNOW:
- The Ebay seller I purchased it from is most likely NOT Rare Thrash thanks to Grimlord.
- The band was/is? from West Switzerland.
- They released a 4 track demo in 1996
- The channel Rare Thrash in the description of the video where he uploaded Track 4: "Propaganda" said that unfortunately he didn't know anything else about the band from the french part of Switzerland, and if they ever got a name. He also said that his copy of the demo was quite possibly the last one left, but he didn't know. (This video no longer exists)
- There's at least 2 copies of the demo.
- There's a name and phone number on the demo.
- Both Rare Thrash and the Ebay seller are located in Switzerland.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR INFORMATION:
- I emailed the guy who ran the now non-existent Youtube channel "Rare Thrash." He hasn't gotten back to me.
- I messaged the Ebay seller seeing if he has any info on the band. Also hasn't gotten back to me.
- Once I get the tape I will post it on a couple Facebook rare demo tape groups and see if anyone has any information. (Thanks to nosws4me for the idea.)
Please drop ANY info or leads you have below.
Thanks guys! (5/25/2020)

I have a suggestion: If you have Facebook, you should go ask the groups "METAL CASSETTES / TAPE COLLECTORS" or "Heavy Metal Rarities Archive (1980 - 1990's)". They can possibly help.

Thank you! I will 100% check those pages out/post up soon. In an unexpected stroke of luck the tape has popped up on Ebay. I think it is being sold by the guy that ran the YouTube channel "Rare Thrash. " I bid on it.
I seriously hope I get it. I'll post updates. Thanks again! \m/

that's not the same guy from the youtube channel - unless he has another ebay id i'm not aware of.
ThomasThrash on
Okay, do you know what his Ebay is? The only reason I thought it was him was becuase the seller had another very rare demo for sale the Rare Thrash had posted. Thanks for more info. Horns up \m/

Now I wanna hear the demo when you get it
ThomasThrash on
For sure. I will upload the audio to youtube probably.
Thane on
I am curious to hear this as well! \m/
ThomasThrash on
Definitely. I’m getting quite a little following on here about the demo.

UPDATE EVERYONE
- The tape arrived a few months back, it looks great, just like the photos from Rare Thrash’s video. 100% legit since it is the same handwriting on the tape.
- ...But I will admit that I don’t have a tape deck yet, hopefully soon I’ll get one.
- Rare Thrash has a new channel, and.... drumroll.... he uploaded Propaganda again.

Have a listen, once I get a tape deck I’ll upload the full Demo. I’ll be reaching out to him again soon.
ThomasThrash on
Will do man, thanks. I really don’t want that to happen with this haha

I'm tryna get a Nakamichi CR-3, basically top of the line from the 90s I believe. Pretty pricey though so my portable Panasonic I got from my grandparents attic had to do for now, gets the job done pretty well honestly

Tragic. What went wrong?
Der Todesking on
That very rarely ever happened to me. And most of the time you can repair the tape. But still, I’d recommend trying to get a really good tape deck too.

UPDATE
I got a tape deck, and the tape plays! I listened to the whole thing and it sounds awesome. I’ll have a much larger update on this soon. :)
