The
Teen Idles were formed
by Ian Mackaye and Jeff Nelson, later of the highly influential
MINOR THREAT, and
the obscure EGG HUNT.
This release is hailed by most critics as an important
artifact of punk rock.
The band sounds as if they were trying their best to ape
THE RAMONES, and their professed idols/mentors, BAD BRAINS. This is
before the
band members, specifically Mackaye and Nelson, found their own voices;
and went
on to be the punk heroes and people they are today.
It’s
quite interesting to
hear "Straight Edge’s" reluctant founder and friends at approximately
my age,
doing what I do.
I find it almost as if I were looking into; or listening to a
musical mirror image of my friends and I.
Our music doesn’t sound the same as
theirs, but I can hear clearly that the initiative is
the same today in young
punks as it was nearly thirty years ago.
