VOID "Time To Die - The Ultimate Collection"




VOID consisted of manic lead singer John Weiffenbach, guitarist Bubba Dupree, bassist Chris Stover, and drummer Sean Finnegan (R.I.P.). In November of '81 they cut a demo tape at Inner Ear Studios produced by Ian MacKaye, and were picked up by Dischord Recordss. In February of '82 they made their vinyl debut with three songs on Dischord's Flex Your Head Comp. That spring they went into the studio to cut 12 songs that were released in September of '82 as half of the Faith/Void split album.

In the summer of '83 they recorded an as yet unreleased album for (then) Detroit based Touch And Go Records. VOID disbanded in the fall of '83, with violence at their shows being a factor in the breakup. In '92, Eye 95 Records released their November '81 Inner Ear demo tape as the Condensed Flesh EP.

This is a massive 51 track collection of VOID's two demo tapes, a live set and the infamous unreleased "Potion For Bad Dreams" LP.


Tracks 1-22: "Hit And Run" Demo Tape (1981)

VOID "Potion For Bad Dreams"





To one of the greatest Dischord bands to ever surface...VOID were more than a band, they were everything pure about music, the approach, the sound, the attitude and the commitment. I got this copy of the mastertape back in the 80's when we shared the stage together a few times and would trade tapes. We here at PNP have numorous other rare recordings and demos that have never seen the light of day, one of which I put as the 2nd track on this post. It's just an alternate take of the 1st song, sound quality isn't the best but hey, what do you expect it's only 25 years later. Of course this album was never properly released, but I personally love everything VOID ever did if for nothing else but the reason they were a band, not like these cliche revival bands. They were truly original and stand the test of time, there will be no other band to ever do what they did.

For those who know, and for those who knew Sean, this one's for you my friend... Thank you for your friendship and the music. You were one of the few who truly inspire, and your legacy will live on.
R.I.P. Sean.
