I played this last night for my 5 year old son and 9 year old daughter, and they both liked it and started rocking out. I was extremely proud and terrified at the same time.
Just be proud. Ignore the terror. Your children like some of the very last real protest music. Not canned rebellion for mass consumption....so there's still hope.
My very first hardcore show was when I was around 19 years old, I’m 58 now. I saw Negative Approach and Hated Youth in Gainesville FL at the American Legion hall..an off grade older building. The pit was huge and organized, the whole place was shaking. It started everything for me, still my favorite show all these years later.
@@crooked-halo 7 seconds had covid so weren't at the buffalo show I was at a week ago. Maybe they will join back in in a couple weeks. But being old who knows.
@@crooked-halo also negative approach were ok but pretty sloppy. The bass was turned up so high it kinda overpowered everything else. Also I thought it was wired but all the young kids there were tough guy dancing to them. Like floor punching and spin kicking and all the dumb shit haha.
I grew up in the 60's and by 1975 really HATED rock & roll. My kid brother used to work at DCM in Ann Arbor and turned me on to punk. I LOVED IT!!! These guys were one of my favorites.
"Pressure" I can't take this pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure Too many things are too extreme There's too much shit, too many schemes It never makes sense, it's just a hype Forget about it, live your own life Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure
Graveyard Sale was n still is a XLT 7" I gotta break.out my 3 big boxes of hc punk 45,s 7's n sell em n pass the torch..gotta be kids listening to.it, times are sure right slot hate anger,etc etc...long live the amps on 11!!!!????
Saw these guy open for Circle Jerks alongside 7 Seconds in Chicago. I went for the Jerks, but the Negative Approach set was definitely the most extreme.
My 6yo son and I went and saw Negative Approach w/Adolescents and Circle Jerks in Portland last Sunday. NA is his new fav band. I bought this 7” at the show and haven’t been able to stop listening to it. Great band, great show!
Growing up in NYC BMX'ng and Skateboarding in the '80s, I grew up on hip hop but once I heard hardcore, oh my god it was a wrap. there was a station here called WSOU and they used to have bands play live. I got to hear DRI, Cro-Mags, Agnostic Front, Sick of it all, Youth of today etc. I love it.
I got this mail order from Touch and Go in 1983... It blew me away when I was 14 and still does the same today at 47. These guys along with the Necros, Meatmen, Iron Cross, UK hardcore of the time, the DC bands, etc etc etc etc were all our idols... What a great time that was then- nothing will ever compare to those early days of the hardcore scene.
Vonhellski true i got into hardcore around 84 i missed alot but saw just about every nyhc matinee from 85 to 92 plus insane gigs at the Ritz . metal crossover in nyc killed it though sucked at the end
Pioneers. This one'll go down as a historic US hardcore archival piece. You'd really have to be around in 1981 to see how groundbreaking this album was. There was just nothing like this around. When we heard this, our brains were like "wtf just happened?"
Negative Approach is an American hardcore punk band, formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1981. The band is considered among the pioneers of hardcore punk, particularly in the Midwest region. Like most hardcore bands, Negative Approach was little known in its day outside of its hometown. It is now idolized in the Detroit rock underground and the punk subculture, considered to be one of the elite bands of the "old school" era, and continues to be influential.] Negative Approach initially broke up in 1984 with singer John Brannon moving on to the Laughing Hyenas, and later Easy Action, but the band has reformed as of 2006 and continues to tour sporadically.
i was raised on punk since i was a baby, my dad played ramones/misfits for me and he said i would dance in my crib. when i was a toddler i was so much into punk, i got temporary tattoos and my parents let me name my fish after the ramones. These days at 18 i'm seeing circle jerks/negative approach in April and overall i think it's amazing i was into this music since i was just a little kid, i found all the other bands myself but my parents let me hear the basics. thanks mom n dad
@@dustysemancik2463 It was killer. Keith talks way too fuckin much between songs, but they killed it. I've got like 10+ minutes of video of just him talking though lol.
Just one of the finest , in general , my buddy handled instruments and equipment for the misfits and knows quite a few of the Ramones, I showed him this shit , and it’s legendary far as either of us can say , tho I’m pretty sure his word is worth a hell of a lot more than mine
First listen, yeah these guys were definitely going hardcore for the 80’s, only with the Internet could I discover something so hidden. Thank you RU-vid recommendations.
This is a weird album for me, cause I listened to TF outta it for a couple of my teen years then just kinda left it alone for like 15 years like an old video game. Came back and unlocked all of these forgotten memories from such a small time of my child life.
You try to make things work and gain something It's all no use, it's all worth nothing Complete satisfaction, too impossible to believe Nothing's ever fucking gonna work for me Tomorrow seems so hopeless Can't keep it off my mind Another day of nothing I'm running out of time I've got nothing I can look forward to I'm always left with nothing I'm always told things I don't want to hear My destiny's become quite clear Life's never fucking given nothing to me It's just stood by and watched me bleed Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing!
I ran into John Brannon at IKEA. I first met him in the late 80’s, when he was in Laughing Hyenas. We went to every show in Detroit and the surrounding area. Partied with the band a number of times.
I stood on the street on the lower east side NYC with Mr. Brannon chatting for ten minutes or so while he waited for his associates to show up with the van during the Laughing Hyena years. He was a calm, friendly normal acting fellow, if I didn't know who he was I would have guessed he worked in a hardware store or something.
Indeed. Along with Poison Idea, Battalion of Saints, Sick Pleasure, Verbal Abuse, Necros, Stretch Marks, Social Unrest, PTL Klub, NoF-X, Negative FX, Youth Of Today, Sin 34, Rebel Truth, Agnostic Front, Antidote, MDC, D.R.I, Bad Brains, Beastie Boys, and Minor Threat.
Finally saw them here in Cleveland a few years back, it fucking rocked! Met John briefly thanked him for coming back to Cleveland, he said he was glad to be back and super humble.
First time I heard the 4-Skins with their original vocalist ( Gary Hodges ), they sounded to me like a slightly tamer version of NA. This stuff is immortal.
@@iachtulhu1420 American Hardcore was definitely more aggressive than most English stuff that came out around the same time, but I love it all - whether US or UK.
what a great band , i have some live demos and rehearsal on LP and their full length first press Lp, and still turn and turn on my table , fucking great band just the essence of hardcore, just the perfect right thing. NA fucking rules
los descubri en 2004 atraves de la web de Asmereir ( hc punk peruano) y en adelante fue un gran referente dentro de mis bandas favoritas ... 16 años despues siguen causando la misma sensacion auditiva!! grande negative aproach,
nothing... song makes me sad at this point in my life. heard it when I was 16 and it held so true to me at the time. little did I know, I had the life back then. now I'm truly fucked. fuck.
Hey buddy, being an aging punk in this shit world can get to you. It doesn’t have to be “some emo shit,” if it hurts and life sucks, that’s just what it is. I say this because I see your original comment and it parallels things I’m feeling about my life. Just wanted to give a little solidarity shout out, and say I hope your second comment about doing better has held up.
My review on Allmusic written July 8, 2019. 5 Stars Negative Approach released their self-titled debut 7" EP in 1982 on Touch And Go Records. This rare Hardcore classic pre-dates their seminal album, Tied Down, and is just about as good. A 10 song adrenaline rush of Hardcore nirvana. Fortunately, this gem as well as Tied Down were reissued on the Total Recall compilation. Collectors will want to seek out the originals if they can afford it, but Total Recall is a great way to get this iconic music.
