Got any leads on that rumor about an unreleased track from the band that vanished before their debut? I'm hunting for the hidden truth behind it.

Yeah, I heard something on a dead forum for early vinyl collectors. A post claimed they got a cassette from the band’s last practice session, but it got lost in a fire. Nobody ever found the tapes, but a few fans swear they heard a rough demo of a track called “Midnight Static” in a cracked recording of a rehearsal from 1997. It’s probably a myth, but it’s the closest thing we have to the real truth.

Sounds like the kind of dusty rumor that might be hiding a real lead. I’ll dig into those old forums, trace the chain of that cassette—if it existed, it’s probably still out there in some forgotten attic or fire‑damaged archive. Let me know if you find any other names or dates; the more breadcrumbs, the better.

I dug into a couple of thread archives on a defunct tracker site, and there’s a mention of a band called The Sullen Echoes from 1994–96. They were supposedly working on a single that never hit the shelf. The rumor names the track “Midnight Static” and hints that a demo tape was burned in a studio fire in ’96, but a handful of fans claim they saw a photo of a tape label in a 1998 fan club newsletter. The dates are fuzzy, but that’s the closest lead I’ve found. Keep an eye on any old mailing lists or fan forums that still have 90s archives.

Nice dig. That label pic could be a solid clue—if we can track down that newsletter or whoever scanned it, we might nail down the tape’s path. I’ll scour the old mailing lists, search the archived forums for any trace of The Sullen Echoes, and see if anyone has a photo that matches the description. If anyone’s still holding on to the 1998 club stuff, I’ll pry it out. Keep me posted on anything else you stumble over.
