@@angeljuarez7784I'd be all about that show. Promoting it and getting the word out. I'd love to see them at their old Chinatown stomping grounds. Imagine the Hong Kong Cafe coming alive again
Happy the original version is easily found on youtube! thank you. Not so happy the guy from the band who finally reissued the record after almost 40 years ago decided to "fix" it with newly recorded guitar tracks. He could have at least included the original version on the CD.
Yeah the reissue almost sounds like the songs were completely re-recorded. I guess they kind of were, which is ridiculous since this EP is pretty much perfect as is.
I've just heard this for the first time yesterday!!!! I'm 49 and can not believe I never heard of them growing up back then with agent orange, Dk,Angelica upstarts.....and so on..but it just goes to show there was so much good indie music in the punk rock that was never heard by everyone. But now I can say thankfully I've heard them and they are really good!!! I really love digging up old school bands you never know what you,ll find!
I just found out about this band from someone who was a part of this scene back in the day. It's amazing how fresh this EP sounds in 2018. There are many indie bands today trying to imitate this sound. The Brat was truly ahead of their time.
I'm lucky enough to have this record. My brother gave it to me in 2002. When i listen to it, i play it a few times in a row. This band fucken rips! East LA Chicano punk.
this was a great band .. I lent it to a friend and never got it back..... one of the bands that formed my teen years. danced and lipsynched in front of the mirror to ,like most people during the 80's
there will be a CD (1) and vinyl (2 LPs) release of over 20 tracks by The Brat, many unreleased, all remastered, scheduled for release July 7...finally! On RockBeat Records....
Should’ve just reissued the original recording without tampering. It was already perfect. I refuse to listen to this reissue. It’s been completely ruined.
I really like this EP. I googled around and found a copy of a band-published CD at a record store. So that's why I'm not wearing out this UA-cam video anymore.
Teresa is my cousin and I'm so proud of her back in the 80s they were hot back then🎶🎙️ I love her she's my cousin Teresa became a teacher Teresa was the lead singer🎙️
@@CaptainG23 I agree. These guys rocked but I was getting rid of stuff moving in with friends after getting laid off and losing my 1st apt in 82. I was 19 just trying to survive.
I did the exact same thing with more than a few records that later on I fell in love with, and it cost me a f’n fortune to replace. This wasn’t one of those records, but I did do that with the Black Album (The Damned) around ‘81-ish because in my ridiculous teenage opinion it was “hippie shit” 😂

I was wondering what happened. I have this ep, some studio tracks and they sound far superior to that awfully titled release.
I'm 56 and they were really popular in 80.
I’m in love with her voice 😍

48 and I'm the same -- just heard them like 6 months ago and they're SO DAMN GOOD! Love it!!
@Keith Mory same with me I'm 47 and didn't find out about them until back in 99
Haha, I'm 49 and just hearing his!
Cuz they weren’t white. Glad you’re here now
@@edgarcastillo3975 ..um then maybe you can explain bad brains to me..
Saw them open for X and Los Lobos several times. Exene did some of the graphics for that EP and it was produced by Tito from The Plugz.
i work with the bassist. hes such an amazing kind hearted man. not to mention a great bassist. this music still holds today!
This band rules! I wore my record out! Glad I can find it here!

The Brat was actually right on time. That is why they fit right into the scene.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 East LA punk legends.

This made it into rotation on KROC back in the day
Love love love this. "Swift Moves" is one of the coolest songs ever(although the entire EP kills.)

ARNY SCHORR how/where can we purchase this?
it's on Amazon and itunes.
@@ottoacid1800 i just got the cd and they ruined the songs. the drums sound whackkkkk they made it sound like nofx
@@comidillo ah man that sucks. I heard another song on UA-cam that's on that new comp and it did sound kinda different and weak

This music was planted in my brain nearly 4 decades ago.

What a wonderful ten minutes that was 😍🤩😍
I heard about this EP from The First Rule of Punk
Me too
Dude same
Me too omg
Rodney on the Roq used to play this back in the day!
Kroq = L.A. 💀
Teresa is my cousin and I'm so proud of her back in the 80s they were hot back then🎶🎙️ I love her she's my cousin Teresa became a teacher Teresa was the lead singer🎙️
Do they ever play lives shows anymore?
Great EP.
I want to dance listening to this...
Yay!
Summer Bridge 1981
"Swift moves" sounds more like UK post punk than the usual LA scene c.79-80...
Just wise influence from THE CLASH
This EP really deserves a proper remix! Vocals and lead guitar sound restrained..solid tho!
Gracias por dios
I frisbeed this ep into a dumpster back in 1982.
Achilles now it's going for like 80$
Achilles people have done dumber things- I just can't think of one right now.
@@Mike-qx3vx I was a big fan but I was lightening my load moving out of my first apt...
