I have seen this demo of six songs that began floating around in 1996 claiming that Commit Suicide had written those songs.

The problem is that the other four songs (are) skinhead music with very racist lyrics. These songs have absolutely nothing to do with Commit Suicide. We did not write or perform those songs that were attributed to us.
