]]> The Teen Idles/S.O.A/Government Issue/Youth Brigade. 1980, 1981/2007. Dischord Records. 4 7″ EP’s originally released in ‘80 and ‘81 on one 12″ clear vinyl LP. 35 noisy punk songs jammed together, showcasing the DC punk scene of the early 80′s. (You can listen to samples of all tracks here). This Youth Brigade is not to be confused with (probably) better known Youth Brigade band from L.A. via Canada (featured in the film Another State of Mind along with Social Distortion). D.C.’s Youth Brigade was around from ‘80 to ‘81, vocalist Nathan Strejcek (also in Teen Idles) and drummer Danny Ingram attended high school with Ian MacKaye (in Teen Idles on bass, as well as of course Minor Threat, Fugazi and founder/owner of Dischord Records). This Possible E.P. was Youth Brigade’s sole release. The Teen Idles had one official release as well, the Minor Disturbance E.P. which pictures the black X emblem that became the symbol of the punk straightedge movement. S.O.A. (State of Alert) has the distinction of being fronted by Henry Rollins (going by his birth name Henry Garfield), S.O.A. being his first (and short-lived) band; they were active for about 10 months between the fall of ‘80 and the summer of ‘81, playing just 9 shows and recording the No Policy EP. Government Issue was the only band of the four featured to survive more than a year or so. After recording this first EP, Legless Bull, they would continue on with fluctuating lineups, breakups and reunions up to present day.
