EXPIRED YOUTH - Where We Stand [+3 unreleased songs]

Location: Chicago, US
Release: Think Fast! Records, 2005 - 2007

If this was released today a bunch of kids would be all over it, wearing shirts, figuring on top 'whatever' lists and so on. In reality they did get a certain attention when the EP came out but with social media nowadays it would reach different scales. Ironically, the other day, as I was putting this record for a spin I decided to google for EXPIRED YOUTH, for my suprise they are now part of social medias and even launched a bandcamp recently with 3 UNRELEASED SONGS (demos for an upcoming LP that didn't come through)!

Expired Youth were all about fast Youth Crew with nods to Uniform Choice that are more apparent on the Where We Stand EP from 2006, it starts off with Win Or Lose a song so energetic that makes you fell like your ears touched a socket, you get wired up! The demo is more raw and sort of generic Youth Crew but even so it's freaking solid, filled with punch-through-a-wall type of breakdowns, I wish they re-recorded those.

After EY broke up in 2007 you can find them on other 2 hardcore projects: One Foot In The Grave (Third x Party records) and DECLINE with dudes from Noose, both great acts!
