Wasted Youth - Young & Bored: The Complete Wasted Youth (Uk) [CD]

Double CD package from cult hardcore punk act Wasted Youth, featuring their two cult albums plus sole EP release all recorded during the 1980's. CD 1 features their second, more metal sounding studio album from 1988 'Black Daze'. CD 2 features their first studio effort, the decidedly hardcore punk sounding 'Regan's In', originally released in 1981, coupled with the EP 'Get Out Of My Yard!' from 1986. Formed in Los Angeles at the start of the 80s, Wasted Youth played fast, aggressive hardcore punk in the vein of Black Flag, Circle Jerks and Gang Green, characterized by short, fast songs railing against the government, the system and authority in general. This release features exclusive liner notes from respected journalist Mark Freebase who conducted an interview with Dave Kushner especially for this project. Around the release of 'Black Daze', as Guns N' Roses exploded with 'Appetite for Destruction', several iconic photos of Slash were taken wearing a Wasted Youth T shirt. The guitar legend recently offered an official quote upon hearing about this reissue, stating: "Wasted Youth was the rallying cry for rebellious kids such as myself who were wasted, anti-social, anti-establishment rock n roll enthusiasts, they were fucking great.
