ALLEGIANCE (AUSTRALIA)



In 1990 Allegiance formed with Dave Harrison, Tony Campo, Conrad Higson, John Mihos & Steve Hidden as the original line-up. After a few months of touring, the line-up wasn't working out so a few changes were made. Conrad, who originally was the drummer switched to lead vocals replacing John Mihos, Glenn Butcher replaced Dave Barry on drums and Jason Stone replaced Steve Hidden on guitar. This line-up remained the same until the band's demise. In 1991 they headed into a small studio to record a demo with $250 that they had saved up from live shows. Make The Pledge was released in October and although it was rough, the straight forward thrash metal sound helped it go on to sell 2000 copies. In March, they released their second demo 'Torn Between Two Worlds'. The recording featured improved production and song writing, which demonstrated the bands progress. This demo went on to sell over 3500 copies, won the 1992 local industry award for most popular WA cassette and praised as one of the most impressive demo tapes of 1992 by many major magazines, fanzines and radio shows as widely as places like Japan, Argentina, Poland, Greece, Lithuania, Germany, Canada, USA and the UK. The band headed to ABC studios in August to put together a few demo tracks. 5 songs were recorded live in the studio in one take with very few overdubs. These songs were released as a demo in October entitled Studio Live. It was limited to 500 copies, sold out in one day and is now a highly sought after collectors item. In March 1994, Allegiance recorded their debut album D.e.s.t.i.t.u.t.i.o.n  in Australia by American producer Dave Pinsky.
