DemoPRS-521
From Garageband.com: The Tranques are Rory Schoenheider on guitar and vocals. Jimmy Wallin on bass. "Retro" Roger Debace lead guitars and vocal,all formerly of Willful Neglect a speed metal punk outfit and Mike Mayer on drums…
This was recorded in 1988 after the Heavy Whispers single was released. These were intended for a follow-up 45 (PRS-521), which made it to test-pressing stage, but was unreleased. A lot less Willful Neglect here, but still pretty rockin’. If you haven’t guessed, I’m a big Willful Neglect fan, so this was a great little bonus find. Rumor has it that Havoc Records will be re-releasing the two original Willful Neglect EP’s on vinyl in the near future. Hell yes! (for those hoping that I will post those EP’s…I’m intentionally avoiding those posts because of this rumor, and the fact that you can still buy the CD here .)
Two tracks can be downloaded from the Garageband site, Click the "play All" button, then you’ll be given the option to download the two MP3’s.

Heavy Whispers
Classic Minnesota punk rock. These tracks are actually from the unreleased 3rd album by St. Paul hardcore legends Willful Neglect "Big Enough to Get it". Six more tracks from this album were released in 2003 in as part of the Willful Neglect CD "1982-1984" which also included the 2 MLP’s.
Well worth the time to find this baby….and I would guess you could purchase one here along with the CD if you like the track below.
Only one track posted, but worth it.

Willful Neglect evolved into The Tranques. They released a 2 song 7" on Prospective Records (Heavy Whispers) which was actually two songs from the never released 3rd Album, Big Enough to Get it. About half that unreleased album was added to the CD release of the first 2 EP’s.
This song is not from that 7" single, and not from the Big Enough to Get it album. This was recorded in 1988 as a followup to the Heavy Whispers single. The single has been unreleased to date. The line up appears to be Willful Neglect minus Wade (singer) and Scott (Drummer). Scott was replaced with a new drummer, and singing duties were handled by Rory.
Anyway too much babbling. Enjoy this little nugget. I really do.
My name is Dave, and I grew up in Minnesota listening to the many punk & hard core bands that I'm featuring here. More important though, is that I'm not just posting the stuff that like, but I'm making an attempt to document every band that had something to do with the punk scene in Minnesota. From your Husker Du & Replacements to Dirt Poor & the Kung Fools. Bands that played bars, and bands that played basements and garages. I'd like it all represented here.
I'd also like your help. I can't possible do it all by myself, so if you want to see something here, let me know. If you see something on the net that deserves a mention here, let me know. If you'd like to contribute, let me know.
If you are in a band that I've posted here, and you want your stuff removed, just ask, and it will be removed. Most of my posts are links to other people's posts. Some of it is from my personal record collection. It is my intent to only post stuff that you can not otherwise buy. Long out of print stuff. If I link to stuff that is in print, I will try to include a link to actually purchase it. That won't happen very often though, since I try to post only stuff that I know to be out of print. If the band has an official website, I'll try to post a link to it. If I get something wrong, or you'd like to contribute something, let me know.
All I ask is that you enjoy the crap I post and if you have any suggestions, send me an email at: webbastard at mnpunk.com
