Forward ... MOSH!!! In 1991 Cottonmouth® released a 5 song demo cassette entitled "Official Demo" which obviously received tons of airplay on WLCA 89.9Fm because Dennis Laird aka Johnny Bash and Ted Nitz aka Ted Banger were students in the radio program. 200 copies disappeared along with the original bass player Ted Nitz leaving 4 members to record the next release "Going to Pot" in 1993.
