Department of Youth Services II

Second part of some youth crew records reviews. Last week I caught some new 7"s: The First Step, True Colors, the Keep It Clear tape (review just below) and the One Kind Word fanzine/compilation.

Here we go. The First Step is releasing "Connection" their 2nd EP and 4th release (Demo, Open Hearts & Clear Minds 7", What We Know LP and now this one. And they don't change the formula. Plain and simple old school hardcore, with simple lyrics, simple layout. They just play some generic but great youth crew . And i think that's enough to please me.

Still hot from Powered Records, True Colors are releasing some new hardcore anthems. And they are definitely true to the game. Straight Edge Youth Crew with agressive vocals (Packo improved a lot from the Building period). That "No Way Out" song with the mid tempo ending is a hit song. Not much more to say. Just dig the record (1st press is almost sold out).
