HARDCORE WORLDWIDE, ONE SCENE UNITY

DIEHARD YOUTH - 4 Years The Hard Way

Location: Tehachapi, California
Release:  Specimen 32, 2004 (out of print)

You can't talk about IN CONTROL without mentioning DIEHARD YOUTH... actually you can. The fact is that they were tourmates, made guest appearances in each others songs, they were around the same period (1999-2004) and so on.. I believe Tehachapi is near Oxnard.

Other similarity is their music composition and writing, fast posi-core with some melodic thrown in here and there. Fun Fact: Andy Diehard had an obsession with a '99 motion picture called Boondock Saints, a movie about a righteous bodyhunter duo, which were used as skits on their records.

In Four Years The Hard Way you can check all their out of print vinyl releases, demo versions of some songs that were re-recorded in their last and best album "Without The Kids We Would Be Dead", songs from compilations, splits, a slew of covers (Cro-Mags, Gorilla Biscuits, 7 Seconds, INFEST, Minor Threat and... YOUNG MC) and a few Boondock citations, total of 35 songs:

1-4 [split 7" with Line of Scrimage]
5-11 [self titled 7"]
12-14 [split 7" with Flames Still Burns]
15-18 [split 7" with UpSide Down]
19  [Anger Management 7" comp]
20 [Prevent This Tragedy 7" comp]
21-35 [Demos and COVERS - Andy's selection]

DIEHARD YOUTH WAS:
Andy Diehard - vocals
Dave-hard - guitar
Rick or Without You - guitar
JJ - drums
Mike Warrior - bass

After 2004, Andy began a new hardcore project called With or Without You, which is also done. He also used to run a brand called BUST! Streetwear, supported by several cali bands.
