YOUTH AGAINST live @ Club Ex, Gornji Kuršanec 21.09.2001. - video



it's time for one blast from the past.. Youth Against were hardcore band from Čakovec, Croatia and were active since 1997 until somewhere around 2002, playing some crossover thrash style hardcore more in veins of Agnostic Front/SOIA or so called NYHC which I don't like much but remember they were always dear band to me and I spin their tape "Uživo iz Močvare" countless times on my Roadstar walkman on the way to school during long boring drives in those "socialist" old rusty and stinky buses, those were the times, hehe.. 
here is live footage from cult place, club Ex in one village just outside of Varaždin, right across the bridge towards Čakovec (which wasn't just cult on domestic hc punk scene but was known as place for more "mainstream" pop/rock culture and clubbing scene here) made and recorded on VHS during "Tribute to Vujo" concert in September of 2001..
later they reformed again once or twice for some gigs, and these days they are full active, even are finishing new album which will not have much similarities with old Youth Against, to be honest, at least if we judge by the new single which they published on bandcamp few days ago.. and that's not all, also you have the chance to see them live in a few days on this years 3FF festival in their hometown..




- video is from this yt channel: youtube.com/@jjavca where you can find videos of other bands that were playing that night, as well: One Step Away, Apfuken, Fibox, De La Grande and Retard.. real throwback to some old times..
