Here is one, possibly two, Battalion Of Saints demos from 1982.
Battalion Of Saints was a great punk band from San Diego in the early 80's. They had a great early 80's punk hardcore sound, a little faster than most. But the speed didn't take away from the music. All the songs are filled with hooks and memorable choruses. They frequently played in LA and with other bands from LA.
I say that there are possibly two demos in this download because some of the songs have way different sound quality, cleaner, than the others. Some songs are repeated twice too. I asked some people who would know and they cannot recall more than one demo, but who knows, this is 26 years old. The great thing about it is that it still holds up really well.
All the classic songs are here than went on to be on great records, beefmasters, cops are out, i wanna make you scream and more.
I will be adding the Fighting Boys 12" and the Second Coming LP soon, so look out for those!
Here is a cool picture of the band hanging out with some random guy...
The music is here...

battalion of saints were great, thanks for posting this and others great stuff. a few requests: final conflict demo tape, pig children "blood for the state"...to name a few.
great post!
thank you very much.
Thanks for the BOS 12"- successfully downloaded it. But the Demos are no longer available. Any chance you could re-up them? Thanks for considering it... Awesome band. I understand that Lemmy (Motorhead) said that the Battalion of Saints version of Ace of Spades was superior to the original... If true, not a bad compliment! Keep up the great work with the blog...
Re: the March 13 2008 comment, yeah that's exactly what I was thinking: you should get that final conflict demo up here. It is GREAT and very different from the studio album Ashes to Ashes, though many of the same songs.
