Youth Crew Records

What was the reason behind the formings of Youth Crew Records?
The reason we got together was because we were at a show with all these metal bands called "new school", a whole bunch of bands you really wouldn't want to see, we don't even know why we were there... It was 1996. We said that hardcore sucks now! After two years (July '98) we decided to start a record label and have fun.
"Youth Crew" Records it's really positive. We saw that a lot of kids in the scene liked what we were doing and a lot of kids were into the same type of music we are into, which is the late 80's hardcore style. A lot of kids who got into hardcore in the late '90's, they got into hearing metal. They never even sampled hardcore.
We just try to produce the style of hardcore that young kids weren't hearing anymore. We're glad that kids are getting into it. It's not only "old school", it's just the hardcore we enjoy to produce.
Now we are come back with another guy (Ivan "F.I.L.") and great motivations!
There are three new productions ready for you... New FUMBLES IN LIFE cd/album "A new way to play",SAFE cd/album "Not alone","OUR ROOTS, OUR PRIDE" cd compilation (GROWING CONCERN, OPEN SEASON, THINK TWICE, MAZE, CREEPSHOW, REALITY). Stay true, stay positive... Straight Edge!
