I don't know if I can really say that but Youth Regiment seems to
be a side project for the "gang" who brought us some of the best bands
from the area like
Beta Boys
and
Electric Chair
(David actually plays the drums in these three bands as states a tape
relevantly called
Davey Plays The Drums) but also great bands from Kansas City, where the
Beta Boys guys are originally from, like
Nuke Cult,
Cryogenics,
Dirty Work,
The Deacons
and probably many more...
The band's first release is the super low-fi tape from 2017 where
the following track is taking from. That's all I could find from the eight
songs released by
Chapel Of Crimes.
The recording is so bad it's not a big deal anyway!
The only other thing I could find from this era is this sick live video
footage from a 2018 show (unfortunately the quality is terrible as
well but the energy from the images is impressive).
So yes I think you got it now, Youth Regiment is playing some very
80s US hardcore punk.
But more than just being inspired by the 80s classics, it
looks like the main goal of this new tape is to sound like it was actually
recorded between 81 and 83.
Ok ok let's stop playing the hardcore nerds, this tape is fun to listen
to a few times, it's a successful Exercice de Style (Style
Exercise), it's good hardcore punk all right!
Now let's get back to listen and play punk from our times!
