Youth Korps

Youth Korps

Youth Korps has been played on NTS shows including Limp Wrist, with Crime first played on 3 November 2020.

Youth Korps were a hardcore band from Connecticut. They recorded a demo in September 1982 at Boston's Radiobeat studios, then broke up. Eight years later, a copy of the demo made its way to Germany, into the hands of Crucial Response records' Peter Hoeren. On a whim, he wrote to the address on the tape, and luckily for the international hardcore community, it made it to someone from the band, who approved a vinyl reissue of the demo.

The Youth Korps 7" has to be heard to be believed. It is a blueprint for the ultrafast style of hardcore epitomized by bands like Infest that would evolve in the late 80s.
