Age Of Quarantine, day # 233 - No, AllThingsOldschool is not done yet! Roughly 3 decades ago the Reagan era was ending. Hardcore, punk and metal bands had a lot to say back then as it does today.
To represent this day I picked U.Y.U.S. from Texas, they self-released 2 LPs filled with government criticism and political stands for equal rights. Although the cover may indicate Oi! related music this is pure late-80's styled thrashy hardcore not unlike Cryptic Slaughter.
Apparently there's just one audio rip available of their stuff and it was most likely made available by the Pay No More Than blog, which has its links dead for a long time. The issue is that the first LP's rip sounds way too weak! Other than that this is an amazing add to any old school punk collector. Vinyl photos by danielnatterdal.
UNITED YOUTH OF THE UNITED STATES
IT'S OUR TURN TO STATE THE WAYS
WE'VE FOUGHT EACH FOR TOO LONG
YOU PEOPLE LEARN TO LIVE HERE
OR WE'LL ALL BE GONE
WE'LL ALL BE GONE, IT MUST BE DONE
SOME PEOPLE ARE PREJUICE, I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND
HOW THE COLOR SKIN CAN EXPLOIT A MAN
SO CLOSED MINDED, SO IGNORANT
YOU PEOPLE LEARN HOW TO LIVE HERE OR GET THE FUCK OUT
RACISM, WHO'S TO BLAME
YOURSELF, YOU MUST CHANGE
PREJUDICE, EXTINGUISHED
YOU MUST JOIN THE U.Y.U.S.
PUT AN END TO THIS RACIAL CIVIL WAR
JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS, THEY'LL BE NO MORE
OPEN MINDS TEND TO DISCOVER
YOU CAN'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER
LEARN TO LIVE HERE, OR WE'LL ALL BE GONE
LEARN TO LIVE HERE, OR GET THE FUCK OUT!
