In Line - Demo (1993) and Show No Shame (1994)
This starts out okay for the first minute, then it devolves into "tough guy" metal/hardcore. It has the requisite shouted angry vocals about being tough, fighting, never giving up, etc., and the necessary simplistic riffs. It's competently performed, but so what? It's boooooring. The self-titled demo is only three songs (really four, but two run right into each other) and is thankfully only 14 minutes. Show No Shame is four songs in only 13.5 minutes and is pretty similar in production and style. It does feature some more diverse (but not any better...) vocal stylings. About the only thing worthwhile about this demo is the bass playing. When they focus on the bass, I find it much more tolerable. But they'd need a complete overhaul to make these demos anything I'd listen to on a regular basis.
