Dead End - Youth Now cassette


Dead End were part of the first wave of hardcore bands in Toronto. They had two full length cassette releases. "Youth Now" was the first of them put out on Brain taylor's label N.R.K. The catalogue number is NRK 004. Tim Yohannon of MRR described the tape as "Another mostly mid-tempo punk band from Canada. Dead End have more of a skunk sound. Some of the songs are quite long and rockish, which isn't to my personal liking, but "No Rights" is totally great." MRR #11, January / February 1984. The titles on this release are:

1. Youth Now
2. Don't Talk Politics
3. Rock vs. Racism
4. No Rights
5. Soldier Boy
6. Depression
7. Government, You and Me
8. Death Game
9. The Children
10. We're Not Dead
11. Put Up a Fight

Like all good releases this was self-released. Here is the lyric sheet that accompanied the release.
