Vinyl Records Youth Brigade – First Demo Summer ’81 7″

Dischord Records

When the Teen Idles split up in 1980, singer Nathan Strejcek and drummer Danny Ingram – two of the first punk kids at Wilson High – formed a new band, Youth Brigade (not to be confused with the Los Angeles-based band of the same name). The duo played with a few different bass and guitar players before settling on Bert Quiroz of The Untouchables and Tom Chilton to complete the lineup. The band played its first show in Washington, DC in March of 1981 at a restaurant called Food For Thought. Just ten days later, Youth Brigade had its second gig joining Minor Threat at the 9:30 Club as the openers for Black Flag’s first show in DC. “Complete First Demo” collects eights songs that Youth Brigade recorded with Don Zientara and Skip Groff in the summer of 1981 during the first recording session. “I Object” appeared on the “20 Years Of Dischord” box set and “Last Word” was included on “Flex Your Head.” All other material is previously unreleased. 7″ includes digital download.
