Youth Crusher Youth Crusher LP
Excellent set of demos from Athens’s YOUTH CRUSHER, one from 2018 on the A-side and one from 2017 on the B-side. YOUTH CRUSHER plays politically-charged hardcore punk inspired by early Greek punk bands like NAFTIA, XAOTIKO TELOS, and ADIEXODO. Both sides rip, but I prefer the A-side (2018) as it’s a little more streamlined and concise than the rough and gruff B-side (2017). This is a cool way to be introduced to the band (who have been active for a decade now) and sees a neat evolution of their sound; I’d recommend starting with the earlier stuff and working your way towards the later. Regardless of which order you spin it, this one is highly recommended.
