This original mix is so much better than the discography mix/master. I’m 16 all over again… Let Down still makes me want to flip my car over.

[@marccuomo6723]

Was never s.e, but how could you not like this?

[@gabrielwells4577]

Saw a dude in Batam, Indonesia wearing a chain of strength hoodie on the back of 2 stroke Honda; holding TIGHT to that Edge!

[@xisotopex]

according to pete koller Indo LOVES hardcore.

[@Oi-nu7gh]

He's not a fan, lol, he's poor & got all the useless crap we don't want, like a chain of strength hoodie, lol.

[@218maryland]

@@Oi-nu7gh Ive seen this happen lol one time I saw a dude at a jobsite with skate worn shoes and I was happy there was another skateboarder...but no. The shoes came from goodwill haha

[@jonathanlongtain1824]

BIZERK true till death dude!

[@DamionPhoto1]

One of the first touring bands we hosted at the straightedge house. Great guys and great music.

[@triplecmafia]

crazy how much the positive message of straight edge had an impact on me, though i never claimed and drank/smoke to my limits the passion/anger i absorbed from this shit is noticable. respect to all who stayed true to that shit. its sad that culture vultures plague straight edge these days

[@jessybwoy8677]

i remember when i was in high school and i was rocking their long sleeve shirt, some random dude came up to me, he was rockin a BANE shirt ! We started hanging together, being the two only hardcore heads of the whole school....Real good old days ! Strife Chain of strenght Bane Bold 100 Demons Earth Crisis Blood for blood Snapcase Shutdown Raised fist All out War Day of Mourning Daaammmn good old days !

[@wrenchaholic]

saw bane live in miami a few years ago. probably the last time ever.

[@christianachmueller5699]

I have really nothing to do with straight edge ideology... but this is great Hardcore music Indeed...

They had the best shirts in HC

[@bandrathy]

My favorite straight edge record

[@xisotopex]

They never sent me my shirt. 1989. someone got my money, but I never got the shirt!

[@droolglop1110]

#neverforget

[@drbleed]

i heard the singer later worked as a cop. coincidence?! I DONT THINK SO!!!

[@drspazz6938]

did a quick search and a Vice interview said Curtis enrolled in a Sheriffs academy, went through all the training and graduated with honors and never pursued a career saying he "could never be like those guys."

[@zoli9876]

Then what the hell was the point of that?

[@user-fb5jt4kk4o]

名盤中の名盤！！３０年前、最初に聴いたとき、マジで鳥肌たった！！

[@damienmarrec4540]

OMG it's still so good 30 years later... Love this shit! XXX

[@reidellis1988]

Wow... and to think that I bought this record in 1988, for $3.50. I bought it because some of the guys from Justice League were in the band. I had no idea how much influence this would have on hardcore. Crazy

[@roughestgunark845]

Bleaching your hair was a straight edge pre-requisite in the late 80's.

[@7Spronge]

hahah true. me and my friends did it to, went a bit wrong, we all turned up with yellow hair.

[@cantbeserious9507]

Youthcew style

[@schwinnbike18]

It actually draws out the nicotine in our hair, which we all have. True story.

[@MariaRamirez-nq4is]

You can Thank/Blame *Kevin Seconds*

[@Undergwana]

.....Incontournable....Ma platine "a saigné" ce EP à force de le passer...

[@ERICF66]

I remember they used to get called "GQ hardcore". People were jealous. COS got real popular, real quickly with only 2 - 7"s that didn't have good production. I bought both and several shirts too. :)

[@GrimReaperX74]

best xxx one ever.

[@alain3956]

Find power music, great SxE band.. i love your power...very good..

[@reignofterrorzion3211]

Great Straight Edge Band! Listening to this brings back good memories. Thank,s for uploading!

[@miguelhipolito9857]

Respect from Portugal....I listen this ep in a 1996....powerrrr

[@wiecawtrzonek6471]

good old school xHCSEx :) thnx

[@PivotLoL77]

[@sm3107]

God I think I spent about£20 about$35 dollars in the 80s on this ( import ). Money well spent...

[@alexandreteixeirabenjamin6539]

Extreme furious hardcore! Awesome lp!

[@Digginbehindthedikes]

Just when you think you have seen it all....a beer add right before a sxe band

[@burneraccount9829]

wow this is way better than east coast youth crew bs....almost sounds like negative approach

[@ejr1636]

Cool band, The rumors of them being a bunch of drunks were even better.

[@daveharman8202]

Yeah, that would have been weird since they were big-time X-Sraight-Edge-X

[@daveharman8202]

@Zolina Mohamad were they still claiming Straight Edge??

[@glurganergc4856]

@@daveharman8202 got some bad news for you about every straight edge band

[@xisotopex]

@@glurganergc4856 I drank wine with ray of today. actually he had wine I just had water because.... straight edge.

[@wokejesus6501]

@Zolina Mohamad TRUE TIL DEATH!

[@reignofterrorzion3211]

I never had the pleasure of seeing this great band being from N.Y. and they didn't get to play much on the East Coast enough!

[@matthewlerch5969]

They came with Gorilla Biscuits in 1988 to PA. I was there..they only played like 4 songs.

[@bandrathy]

Such a good ep!

[@steevebouchard5531]

best time in life never forget

[@patrickculhane1269]

I got this on green vinyl original This was to the "jump the shark" Of straight edge.. Anybody that wants to disagree wasn't there

[@lisasousa1532]

....minor trestt

[@danielc9320]

Think so? I think bitches and hiphop(?)...

[@kennhiser]

word.

[@matthewlerch5969]

Thank you! You know.

[@kanehodderd.b.cooper6245]

I would have given it to BOLD for "Looking Back" personally, but now that you've pointed it out I'm forced to agree if only because at least BOLD did show some slight progression musically and wasn't quite as cookie cutter as COS. I stand corrected

[@richardretrotation4952]

Is it wrong I get stoned, listen to this album and love it?

[@davecypher]

Richard Retrotation yes, it's a 7" single 😁

[@chuy8356]

I wear a Chain Of Strength shirt or Youth Of Today shirt while getting shitfaced.

[@DanielSmith-br1zi]

I was edge for about a week in highschool until I realized I really enjoyed skateboarding while stoned.

[@icumblood35]

No because they all drink now lmao. Also you can listen to earth crisis while you’re stoned if you want. It doesn’t fucking matter lol.

[@GooBanana]

No, because they all sold out and said they songs weren't about being edge.

[@moneyfoodfun6950]

Block lettering for your band name was required for about 8 years it seems.

[@Druffmaul]

So, song #1 is whining about how Blast betrayed them, song #2 is about how Al Barille from SSD betrayed them, #5 is about how 7 Seconds betrayed them... Who are the rest of their songs about?

[@Morkinmindy]

#4 is about Ricardo Montalban

[@EvaderAvoider]

lol

[@nadergrinder]

Where can I read about these interesting events?

[@lapinrigolo]

+Druffmaul Links to those?

[@chuy8356]

Betrayal, the running theme in every Youth Crew band.

[@Geu1987]

best hardcore album

[@schwinnbike18]

Strong contender.

[@punxhottie]

It's music.

Sorry bud

[@WHDRWN]

Condolences

[@christianachmueller5699]

Their musical fury combined with a low shitty production is the secret of their... of their... their what ?? ah!!! Success !!

[@ronxxf]

I wasn't sxe but like some of it, this being my favorite EP (LP's by Youth of Today). I don't think I ever saw them live, I did see bands at the Country Club like Insted, Carry Nation and Shelter. I tripped out on all the kids in sneakers and a freaking Hare Krishna.

[@ellydiego5815]

XXX

[@88brujeria]

HOW'D THE EDGE GO SO DULL

[@danielc9320]

Krishna, PC, bitches, hiphop, college, too much tolerance in general, lots of shit

[@chuy8356]

At one point in life, you have to realize having a drink or two or smoke a joint once and a while with moderation isn't going to do any damage to you or anyone, and actually helps you relax from a stressful day at work. As for having sex, pussy is amazing! Straightedge is too cliquish. Addiction is no good either. Straightedge and drug/alcohol addiction are extremes, extremes are bad in general.

[@adirenaldi]

HAS THE EDGE GONE DULL?!?!?!?!?!?!

[@reformtorta]

yeah, as we all know good riddance came before Chain of Strength

[@UndergroundPunkGuy]

As a matter of facts yes they did, Good Riddance was formed in 1986 and Chain Of Strenght was formed in 1988.

[@reformtorta]

please leave the internet

[@ryanbrereton]

All these issues are just what adults go through day to day. Life gets busy and you deal with it, not shy away. Seems very contradictory to this channels message

[@AnarkaAkaza]

Name is kinda bland, but the band is good, though!

[@danielc9320]

The name is awesome!!! Those late 80's Rev bands always had names that made a statement

[@danroche7602]

It’s just Uniform Choice with fade haircuts iyam

[@Occult_Gibbet]

I'm sorry but the earlier 80's Wasted USHC's bands like Fuck-Ups, JFA, Sick Pleasure, Bad Posture, Reagan Youth and Wasted Youth are just better...

[@Occult_Gibbet]

Better riffs than modern youth crew bands though!

[@gupster24]

[@hoda2k11]
