The Bel-Airs (Unreleased Demo, 1986)

The Bel-Airs



Paul Montagne - Guitar/Vocals
Dave Flanagan - Drums
Paul Chandler - Guitar/Vocals

The Bel-Airs had one of my favorite tracks on the Positively 13th comp but I never got to see them play. I think they were active again for a show or two a few years back, I seem to remember Adam Glogauer being the drummer. Paul Chandler sent me the demo including the titles years ago and I just now found them!

  3. Recorded by Todd Waddell in the basement of Bel Air house ( 12th & Oak) We also did one with Jon Wallace there. I’ve not found the tape from Roger Briand which had the ‘studio’ cut used on the panic compilation cassette. He later recorded Marble Orcard
