"HARDER! HARDER! HARDER!" US cassette tape
(promo tape)
Austin's True Believers included brothers Alejandro and Javier Escovedo, and this demo tape sees the Believers tackle a familiar cache of classics, reinterpreting the Velvets, Chantays, T. Rex, Mott the Hoople and MC5 in precisely that order.
The five songs were sourced from hometown performances in 1985 and '86, via a live session on KUT FM and a gig at Liberty Lunch, respectively.
