Probably the biggest band I'll ever post on here, so I hope I don't get told off for it! I'm only posting some demo stuff though, as 'This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For' and the rest is still readily available. Formed in 2004, the band quickly wrote a demo - two of the tracks from this session are available below. Now, there is a handmade version of 'tiwteoyswmf' out there that was going to contain six tracks on a CDr. These would have been:
1. Bring Me The Fucking Horizon
2. Who Wants Flowers When You're Dead? Nobody.
3. The Film Produced The Effect I Wanted, And It Plunged Like A Dagger Into The Heart Of Paris As I Had Foretold. Our Film Ruined In A Single Evening Ten Years
4. Passe Compose (I Admit, I Was Never That Good At)
5. Traitors Never Play Hang Man
6. We Are All Moviestars

It's a shame the rest of these songs weren't actually recorded in this state, as you can see them live if you do some digging on YouTube. Tracks 2 & 3 have been floating around for some time now, one of them was incorrectly labelled as 'Shed Light'. Interestingly, the CDr does actually exist, but only contains a video of Oli's brother Tom skateboarding. Another point of interest with the CDr, is that the artwork says they live a 'drug free lifestyle'. I've also heard of a t-shirt that says xbmthx or something like that - if anyone can confirm the truth surrounding this, that'd be ace! The actual CD would then be properly recorded and released through Thirty Days Of Night Records in late 2004 and then reissued with different artwork by Visible Noise in 2005.

Also included with the downloads are their 2005 BBC Radio 1 session where they play Dragon Slaying (AKA Liquor & Love Lost), Medusa and Off The Heezay. These all vary in quality, but I can't find any official mention of this session online and I've had these for well over a decade with nothing better being leaked. Oli's vocals are truly savage on this session and he's even thrown in a few pig squeals for good measure! These tracks would obviously be properly recorded for 'Count Your Blessings' in 2006 and I'm sure you all know their upwards trajectory from there. While I only like bits and pieces after 'Sempiternal', it's still really cool seeing where they started compared to where they are now (although, Post-Human was excellent and I love the nu metal style they went for).
If anyone has any of these demos in clearer quality, please hit me up on Instagram.
