xxDemos and songs I've been enjoying recently

Owltian Mia - Demo Tape (1995)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVTTf20vykk

Really emotional and sad vocals, its hard to understand the lyrics given it being a demo tape but I still find myself resonating in the vocals and in the vulnerability in the lyrics I can understand, can cry to this 

Favorite songs: March + Ophelia, Lessons 

Happy Todd - Demo Tape (1996)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrW9DFaye1o

When I first listened to this, the first song shattered my heart as I found myself and my own flaws in the lyrics "Words Spoken without thought, causing wounds without noticing, scary how easy you hurt someone and how hard it is to put right, second thought comes almost always to late, knocks on my door, knocks on my door and says, hello I'm here again, let me in look at what you've done now" this whole line breaks me. The entirety of the demo is really amazing, really overlooked band

Favorite songs: Cross That Line, False Moves

Rosalind - Demo (199?)  

Owning a copy of their 7", I've known about Rosalind for some time and had been aware they had put out more material but never gave it a shot, today I listened to the demo Tape and its very good, I barley listened to it for the first time today as of writing but the raw instrumentals and vocals will grow even harder with me over time
