why?! Why am I learning about this genius band 40 years late? What a travesty that they didn’t find the success that they deserved at the time. Amazing lyrics, amazing vocals, and amazing music. I’m so sad thinking of what could have been had they gotten the publicity that they deserved
I was luck enough to see The Brat this same year in SF on a bill that included new band R.E.M. and Lords of the New Church. It was a great and memorable show and I got the EP and more recently cd collection and am still listening 40 years (is that possible?) later.
This band is brilliant! Just stumbled on them last night on youtube and straight to buy the album with NO delay! I'm from the U.K and can remember when punk was everywhere as a kid in the late 70's - Sham 69 and Pistols graffiti all over my block and i grew up on a multi racial housing estate in the innercity and there were asian and black punks then too - Reggae, Two Tone and Punk were the main sounds then. it was amazing looking back. Anyway fantastic music! 🎸🙏🏾
i'm just discovering them and it feels like music i've loved all my life. mannnn I wish I was around those easlos backyard parties back in the day to see them play there.
When your old have had too many docs to the skull slam dancin and you for its not Da Brat singing gangsta rap............... (Im a dad and granddad, you know i got tha jokes)
Great to see this rare footage from my time playing bass for The Brat, but I can tell you, it wasn't 1982

Got a bit of airplay on Rodney on the Roq. KROQ Los Angeles
Mexican gangs were legit threat in 80 and clubs were afraid to play E LA bands

My favorite song by The Brat! "we say this democracy is laced with their hypocricy" that lyric still hits hard
"Livin' off the poor man's labor/
Suckin' all spirits dry."
Those lines too.
i thank the book The First Rule of Punk ! made me find this band 🖤
