I used to jam this wayyyy back. Haven't heard it in forever. For some reason randomly thought of it and I still think this is where craig belonged vocally
@@amatthew7861this demo has my favorite vocals of any 2000s/2010s metalcore/post hardcore warped tour/hot topic type stuff. The singing is great and the screams sound so raw
his work in btf was his best i think. a lot of the early ETF songs by him are pretty nice. obviously not on the levels of TWA and btf.. and the early dead rabbitts stuff is good too
0:00 Can't Let Up 3:28 The Devil Inside 7:09 Casanova Rodeo 10:58 I'm Sorry 15:50 Are You On Drugs 20:12 Casanova Rodeo (New Version) 24:00 The Devil Inside (New Version)
@@womblesssphere7643So Craig should dip after first album with every new band is what you’re saying? lol that first Dead Rabbitts EP was their best as well damn…
I've been a fan of TWA since the release of these songs. Personally I like Telle more, but god, this songs have a different spirit, energy or a vibe that can't be compared. This EP is a masterpiece.
Not even being a hater, I think this is the best stuff they've done. Sure telles not bad and the production improves each release but damn the energy these songs have can't be rivaled by any of their later work. I still remember this back in the high school days. We were all like 'bless the who?' haha
ThePurestMayhem i know right? they are coming to my city soon and i really hope they play some lf their old stuff, im gonna be screaming "the devil inside" the hole show until they play it lol
Living proof is that Craig Mabbit proves to be creative and versatile at the highest level, something that the current band has not been able to achieve to date. Difficult and melancholic lyrics portraying the reality of many people who suffered such consequences as mentioned in their lyrics. Truly an excellent vocalist and lyricist at what he does, he deserved to be more recognized!!!!
What a blast from the past, I loved this version of TWA best but honestly so impressive they have trucked on so long with Telle making good music. Shit is just nostalgic listening and playing skate 2 haha.
craigs work in BTF and TWA is legendary to me. but his work in ETF just aint as good, sounds more like dad rock than that emo raw sound im looking for.
@@apexlucas Correct. If I remember correctly, he was kicked as a result of his interest in being in Escape the Fate and The Word Alive simultaneously. The rest of the band members in The Word Alive didn't appreciate that, as they didn't want to be consigned to being a side project for Craig. Perfectly understandable, honestly. Too many vocalists ditch much more promising bands with significant potential for growth in favor of more notable bands whenever an opportunity presents itself.
Masterpiece … and a demo EP nonetheless. So much raw emotion and energy. Hard to describe in words. Craig is just on another level but Telle is definitely respectable.
Really sucks that this masterpiece was never properly released. This is the only complete version I can even find on TH-cam or Google. Where did you even get it? Did you download it from MySpace before those idiots lost like a decade of music? I wish I could find an actual CD or digital download for this. This album is still my favorite album Craig Mabbit ever released. Or at the very least tied with His Last Walk. You can still find ETF demos, and blessthefall demos too. But for some reason I can't find these demos. You can still find From Behind These Walls (original name for Falling In Reverse) on TH-cam as well. But it seems TH-cam is the main place to listen to old demos now. MySpace screwed up and lost most of the music on it. Including my own, as well as my father's music. Both of which are now only available on TH-cam. (mine is privated though).
Tony A (the old drummer) is my cousin. He's heavy into mastering audio and whatnot. I remember him showing me Casanova Rodeo before there were any vocals on it. Willing to bet he gots these tracks backed up. I'll ask and see yo
idk if this is helpful or not, but i did some digging, and someone uploaded the demos onto Internet Archive. if anyone's interested, i can send the link
@@ethancundiff6422 i may be wrong but i’m pretty sure there isn’t any kind of CD or official release for this because craig mabbitt released this EP without the rest of the band’s permission after he found out he was kicked out of TWA.

so many memories of high school lol, too be Craig dipped . his scream/voice is nuts but telly is did a good job. haven't gotten back into post hardcore since '11 lol outgrew it
There were the scene kids that listened to Mayday Parade, Paramore, Fallout Boy and then there were the Scene kids that listened to Blessthefall, TWA, Drop Dead Gorgeous, We Came As Romans lol
I lisen this album in my cristian adolescence all my friend was anticristian posers lisen blackmetal and stuff they also lisen cristian post hxc but they dont know english and dont read the lyrics glory to god i lisen this know and i has a nostalgic feeling
Only Casanova Rodeo was officially released on their first project "Empire EP", without Craig Mabbit. "Can't Let Up" is now "Inviting Eyes" on the EP with new lyrics. And Craig redid "Are You On Drugs?" with his other band Dead Rabbitts (not as good imo)
i know this comment is 8 years old, but if youre still looking for them, someone uploaded the demos onto Internet Archive, i can provide the link of youre interested
This was good 15 years ago but there's nothing left to say. Idk why they try and draw things that isn't there selves. It seems polluted to some extent.
![Confide - Introduction [Full EP]](/img/n.gif)
After 11 years this "demo" is still a masterpiece like "His Last Walk" by Blessthefall with Craig!
Absolutely. Surely once of the best demos out there.
truer words have not been more true
It’s 2023 and I’m still crying over how amazing this album was !
16/05/2024 and im still here!
I used to jam this wayyyy back. Haven't heard it in forever. For some reason randomly thought of it and I still think this is where craig belonged vocally
Yeah I agree. I’m happy for him and all the success he’s had but artistically, I think he was much better with TWA
@@amatthew7861this demo has my favorite vocals of any 2000s/2010s metalcore/post hardcore warped tour/hot topic type stuff. The singing is great and the screams sound so raw
Best music Craig has been a part of.
@@anthonykester3058 yes, yet i still prefer ''his last walk''... my favorite post hc album
Blessthefall was crazy too. But this ep was just too crazy lol good shit
@@JavierRios-sq7sp oh my god it’s so good People still talking about this masterpiece. Best ph and my fav singer!
Stay blessed dude ❤️
@@youbetterspreadlovebud1893 likewise😊

15:50 Are You On Drugs
20:12 Casanova Rodeo (New Version)
24:00 The Devil Inside (New Version)
Imagine your first demo album is your peak release.
for real lol it's kinda pathetic
His Last Walk from Bless The Fall and This War Is Ours from Escape the Fate are also great releases

No doubt old school TWA was the shit, way better than their new sound
ThePurestMayhem we still fighting Craig vs Ronnie or what? Lol
ThePurestMayhem we still fighting Craig vs Ronnie or what? Lol
Freddy Gonzalez no just haters make it after they got together in a concert
Craig's golden year. I bet the whole house on it.
Went crazy back in high school when learned that Craig Mabbit formed this band and now 2024, had 3 kids and still listening to it!
every time they come out with a new album, makes me appreciate these set of songs even more, been there since the beginning.
Wish they would release This on vinyl or just add it to Spotify
This was his pinnacle tbh best album he has ever made.
First time listening to this in 2024. I knew about it but havent heard the music yet. Craig is and was very talented.
This EP and His Last Walk never die, forever 🖤
Still listening in 2021
Same
This was a legendary demo back in the day
Best stuff TWA has ever put out by a land slide
Still listening in 2024
Just discovered this today and I'm in love
Damn, this sure does bring me back.
Still spinning this 2020

Good thing he is recognized now, in Escape The Fate.
the devil inside it was the best! I remember the first week they released this! old times
Such nostalgia
What a blast from the past, I loved this version of TWA best but honestly so impressive they have trucked on so long with Telle making good music. Shit is just nostalgic listening and playing skate 2 haha.
I was gonna reply saying hell yeah and it's my comment, ope.
@@Heywooo haha your second comment made my day 😂
craigs work in BTF and TWA is legendary to me. but his work in ETF just aint as good, sounds more like dad rock than that emo raw sound im looking for.
I hear ya, i wouldnt word Exactly like THAT yet not as Are. Still,, loyal, fan of Craig Mabbitts
Yeah craig is less hardcore now and more pop...
Early Escape The Fate is kinda blessthefall/wordalive-esque. I'm talking right after Ronnie left and Craig took over vocals. Like This War is Ours era
@@MiniMugenMan after revisiting ETFs music i have a new appreciation for it, especially this war is ours and the self titled.
One of my favorite demos 🙏
best tunes they released. wish it would be better production (sturgis core)
You mean that overproduced bland stuff?
15 years later and I’m still pissed Craig dropped this for ETF
Same. 😂
i agree, but at the same time do not blame him one bit...at least we have dead rabbits.
He got kicked
@@apexlucas Correct. If I remember correctly, he was kicked as a result of his interest in being in Escape the Fate and The Word Alive simultaneously.

Man, the sneak peak at the end really upped the production quality. I wish we had gotten this as a full release D:
The Empire EP is about as close as we'll get. Especially since now Craig has redone one (maybe more?) of these songs as Dead Rabbits.
@@SockPuppetDinosaur what song has been redone?
@@jawrool are you on drugs
Emotion. Used to look for leaks/followed posts/sketchy download links. Turns out I just need to keep coming back to this video. THANK YOU
Ah Don’t get me wrong I love all the telle stuff but the first stuff with Craig is just so good lol
Telle sucks
Man I wish Craig stayed in this band!!!!
dude, you need to reupload the zip version of this album somewhere. its 2020 and I'm still banging it. let us know!
High school days man!!
Craig the badass singer.
Masterpiece … and a demo EP nonetheless. So much raw emotion and energy. Hard to describe in words. Craig is just on another level but Telle is definitely respectable.
The best material
That “sneak peak” sounds like they remastered some of the other songs! Shame they never got released..
Sinto muita falta desse tempo
im so sad that the versions of the songs in Sneak Peek were never released, i would do anything to hear the full versions of them

I think they recycled the rift or several chords of "Can't Let Up" on Deceiver, it's driving me crazy which song it is...
It was Inviting Eyes off the EP
it was cassanova rodio
craig rereleased a newer version of are you on drugs with dead rabbitts
That version sucked ass compared to this one
Download link please
Can someone please remaster these songs
The Sneak Peak teasing remastered songs... were they ever finished? Also for anyone who wants the demo msg me

Remastering these songs?

2023❤
so many memories of high school lol, too be Craig dipped . his scream/voice is nuts but telly is did a good job. haven't gotten back into post hardcore since '11 lol outgrew it
Outgrew is just a nice way of saying you unfollowed a trend.
Craig should of never joined etf. TWA should of been the focus.
There were the scene kids that listened to Mayday Parade, Paramore, Fallout Boy and then there were the Scene kids that listened to Blessthefall, TWA, Drop Dead Gorgeous, We Came As Romans lol
Way better than with telle
Is it aviable to download the mp3 files?
I lisen this album in my cristian adolescence all my friend was anticristian posers lisen blackmetal and stuff they also lisen cristian post hxc but they dont know english and dont read the lyrics glory to god i lisen this know and i has a nostalgic feeling
Ah yes but the side project made off a quick bit
How the fuck are they going to kick craig out of the band he started?
The whole band is done
The band is basically done now.
@@druidactual done because their music has gone downhill or they broke up?
