One Win Choice have unveiled a new demo entitled “To Be Loved”. The band had this to say about their recent demoing:

“The song is a product of the summer; a sample of what we’ve been up to for the last couple months, including the experience of writing and recording with our new bass player Dave. We’re extremely proud of what we’ve done in the past, but right now we all feel like right now the band is “clicking” and coming together in a way that is exciting, fresh, and new. Although the new stuff we’ve been demoing has only been recorded at my house, it is really gearing us up for the next full length and the process of tracking a new record come the new year.”

The song can be heard at their MySpace page. The band released the Define/Redefine 7″ earlier this year; that record can be streamed at their Punknews.org page.
