CRIPPLED YOUTH is one of my favorite straight edge bands. redonkulous preachy lyrics being screamed by 14 year old kids who are young and PISSED! these guys changed their name to BOLD when they grew up a little and changed their sound as well. this stuff is ripping proto-youth crew. very simple with some really silly lyrics. this band rules.

1. Just How Much?
2. True Till Death
3. There Is a Difference

Side B
4. Never Understand

Chain of Strength - "True Till Death" EP

This is probably my favorite youth crew 7" ever... Great powerful and emotional straight edge hardcore. This record is also great for drunken singalongs about making the right choices in life! This is Chain of Strength's first record release, and it's super raw sounding, which is one of the reasons I really like it.

Appendix EP



Side A
1. Huora
2. Eliittipiiri

Side B
3. Painajainen
4. Tää On Mun Oma Sota

Appendix EP

First EP by Appendix. Some refer to this as the "Huora" EP. Very powerful and thick ripping Finnish hardcore. This band influenced a lot of bands in Scandinavia and all across the world. I used to be obsessed with Scandinavian hardcore when I was younger and this is just as great today! It has that very distinct Finnish hardcore sound.
