The Paul Q-Pek Band – Demo – 1987

Now I’m going to preface this “review” is that I have always had questions about the sincerity of the Piglets. I still don’t know if they were serious or were mocking the entire industry. This demo is part of my evidence. Paul Q-Pek obviously had a love for alternative music as indicated by this demo before One Bad Pig and his solo album later on. In both of these albums he leaned more to alternative. It should also be noted that piglet drummer Phillip Owens was also on this album. While this demo was incredibly rare one of the tracks made it onto Doug Van Pelt Cool Tunes album. As I understand it this track, Kingdom Come, was extremely well liked. Anyway I absolutely love this demo. It ha a great sound for 1987 and I would have eaten it up back in the day. Apparently there are more demos out there and I hope we can find them. I apologize in advance for the sound quality or lack thereof. I did my best to clean up this copy of a copy of a cassette.
