| | Band Search: YOUTH OF TODAY |
 | | One of the major bands on New York City's straight-edge hardcore scene, Youth of Today followed most of the genre's thematic conventions -- disciplined self-reliance, integrity, left-wing politics, and the evils of meat, alcohol, and drugs -- but did so with plenty of inspiring musical energy. |
 | | Youth of Today debuted in 1985 with an EP, Can't Close My Eyes, and released its first full album, Break Down the Walls, in 1986; both were remixed and reissued in 1988. |
 | | That year's We're Not In This Alone proved to be Youth of Today's strongest and most listenable musical effort, but the band broke up shortly afterward. |
