Youth Korps - '82 7" 1982

Photobucket

A criminally under-appreciated release that vanished into obscurity somewhere in Connecticut. God, Connecticut was notorious for goofy artwork. This band released one demo that blew through songs faster than any band I think ever at the time, boasting 13 second songs and mapping out a system of songwriting that the powerviolence genre co-opted as their own. This is where the whole idea of blasting into songs for a brief second into heavier breakdowns came from (see JB Theme). Great, great release recorded at Radiobeat studios in Boston. Had Crucial Response not gotten a hold of these tracks and re-released them this band would have faded into obscurity beyond even the Koro EP. Great ripping hardcore with, at times, Rollins-esque vocals.
