How old are the Szuter brothers?

I can't find Mike or CJ's ages anywhere online. Going by the release date of their earliest album, that being Outta the Blue self titled in 1985, they're at least in their 50s now.

Going by CJ's "Life Events" section on his Facebook, he's maybe 62-65 . He "became a musician" in 1977, which if you assume he was 18 that puts his birthday at 1959, and thus he's 65. He "played [his] first bar gig" in 1983, which if you assume he was 21 puts his birthday at 1962, and his age at 62.

That's all speculation though; nothing I can find says anything about anybody's ages. I don't care super hard about it, but I am perplexed at what I can find and none of it is the members' ages.

Hi, I have a question about an old The Szuters CD you archived and uploaded to youtube awhile ago. On the CD “Demos for New Album”, it says that the song “Forever and a Day” is the second song on the CD. Do you have a recording of that song from the CD in your posession? Thank you.

Hey so the reason a few songs are missing from those uploads is because I was later told that those songs were apparently ripped directly from the old Outta the Blue tapes, and were just thrown on that disc as "demos" for the sake of it. We gotta remember that those discs were never meant to be public so if the band wanted to chuck a few shitty recordings off of their old cassettes on there and call them new, then they could. Essentially, they are not The Szuters demos, they are much older Outta the Blue songs.

In reality, the whole archive of all those discs, though I still have the files, was not good. I had no clue how to properly archive media at the time and ripped them with iTunes in AAC format, rather then FLAC using Exact Audio Copy. Luckily CDs are some of the easiest things to correctly preserve, I just need to get the CDs back from Charlie so I can do so. I have been trying to do so for a while now, but due to recent changes in my life it may be a while before that ends up happening. I will sort it all out eventually though, I promise.

This was interesting! I'm guessing the lyrics would go somewhat like:

All hail Shadow

Heroes save the day

Obliterating everything that's in your way

I love reading about these- I was listening up on the plethora of unreleased songs from The Szuters/Magna-Fi the other day

Every printed lyrics of All Hail Shadow say that this one specific line in the chorus is “Obliterating everything that’s in your way”, but it sounds way more like “Obliterating everything that’s not your friend” (in both the M-F and C40 versions!!)

The lyrics on Spotify, though, do say “not your friend”

I assume this was a mistake made when Mike Szuter provided the lyrics to SEGA, probably an earlier version of the lyrics, which then made their way through each release, all the way up to Driving Through Forever. And I guess they finally realized the mistake when putting the lyrics into Spotify.
