Looks like Springfield music blog Some Things Can’t Be Ignored are at it again in 2015, this time bringing us an unreleased demo from 1994. The demo is from the old Springfield band Ingot (pictured above playing at Skank Skates in the early 1990’s. From the blog:

When I met up with Ben Jacob a couple of years back to discuss music and borrow some of his recordings from what can only be described as an unbelievable and immaculate collection of 1990’s Springfield and regional music, he provided me with something that simply blew my mind — an ingot demo from 1994 containing 4 unreleased songs!!!  I had heard some folks speak of the song, “Dad, The Evil Clown” in recent years, but I never recalled ever hearing it played live and it certainly wasn’t on either of the two cassettes the band released in 1994 and 1995.  When Ben pulled out this cassette and I saw “Dad, The Evil Clown” scribbled on the j-card along with 3 other songs that I didn’t recognize, I nearly jumped out of my skin with excitement!  IT STILL EXISTS!!  …and Ben still has his master copy!!  Needless to say, I took great care with this one to be certain to preserve the recording exactly as it was captured over 20 years ago!!  The version you have here has been “touched up” a little bit to improve the overall sound and “beef things up”, but in no way takes away from the original recording.

You can head over to somethingscantbeignored.wordpress.com and stream or download the full 1994 demo.
