This tape isn't their first demo (if I can dig that one up, I'll put it here). I think this one was supposed to be an LP, but the band almost dissolved before it could be released, with their drummer Mason moving to LA and their bass player, Sonia getting too busy with school. I'm sure the fact that Sarah Beth was in nursing school also played a factor, but who knows? Well, to be honest, I don't really know the circumstances, but the band kept moving forward with two new members: Maren (from QUIET COYOTE and CHER HOROWITZ) joined on drums and Chrissy (from ALABASTER CHOAD) started playing bass for them. They're still around, but I've been out of town when they've played recently. If you need an herbal consultation, a good fuckin laugh (because they are funny people, they don't make funny music), someone to take your stitches out or intense Mia Zapata-like vocals, ENDEMICS are there for you.
I listened to John Denver while writing this.

I sure hope you can find their other demo, Greg. This tape continues digging its roots into my soul. So eerie how similar those vocals sound like Mia Zapata, but like in authenticity not imitation. Such a wonderful band.
Still working on finding it. It's around here somewhere. Glad you like it.
