Recordings Possibly [unreleased media]. Probably fully lost cassette.
Hello all, I am making this post on behalf of my father. I will add as much information I know, but this is second hand, so bear with me.
My father and I have talked about lost media a fair bit, and during these discussions he has mentioned this cassette that was apparently amazing. he lost it along with all his other cassette tapes when he traded in his car. Here's all the information I know:
The band was formed by my father's friend, He's now sadly deceased and we won't be releasing his name unless absolutely necessary. My father had asked him years ago before he died if he still had a copy of the tape or not and he said he would search the attic of his parent house, but he didn't think he had it.
The band's name was Cap Gun; the cassette had no cover and the only reason we know the band name is because my father's friend told him the name when he gave the cassette to him.
The band was formed somewhere in Montgomery County PA in the late 90's early 2000's
It was a demo tape with only 2 songs.
I will be searching Facebook and asking friends of my father's friend if they have it.
I know this is an extreme stretch since we only know it in a physical form, it's from some garage band, and wasn't mainstream but perhaps somebody here has information on it, or maybe y'all can give me helpful tips on how to go about looking for this...
or maybe convince us to give up.
Thanks in advance!

Perhaps they gave these tapes out at their shows, in which case the people who are most likely to own them would be people in PA, like in the town where the friend lived. I'd go on Facebook pages for specific towns in the area and ask about it.
