Existing for just nine months between March and December 1981, Youth Brigade became a vital part of the birth of the D.C. hardcore scene, alongside fellow band <a href="spotify:artist:07PiZYrhllpSXtELkUxlrf">Minor Threat</a>. Formed from the ashes of <a href="spotify:artist:5t0HWVQFpMImu2GdWDbDHd">Teen Idles</a> -- of whom <a href="spotify:artist:07PiZYrhllpSXtELkUxlrf">Minor Threat</a>'s Ian MacKaye was also a member -- and the Untouchables, Nathan Strejcek and Danny Ingram worked their way through various guitarist and bass players, finally settling on Tom Clinton on guitar and ex-Untouchables' Bert Queiroz on bass. Shows in their native Washington culminated in a support slot for <a href="spotify:artist:5Mhs3Eu8lU6sRCtRYsmABV">Black Flag</a> at their first East Coast show. Youth Brigade's only official release came in the shape of an eight-track E.P. for MacKaye's <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Dischord+Records%22">Dischord Records</a>. Released in 1981, the Possible EP was named as a tongue-in-cheek dig at an advert for upcoming <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Dischord%22">Dischord</a> releases, listing a "possible EP" from the band. After their break-up, Bert Queiroz went on to play with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Double-O%22">Double-O</a> and Rain, while Danny Ingram joined British shoegazers <a href="spotify:artist:0Sd7X8SxWV0AyDLbvd4uEu">Swervedriver</a> for a brief stint in 1992. The band reunited in 2012 -- minus Clinton -- for a benefit show for the D.C. hardcore documentary Salad Days. ~ Rich Wilson, Rovi
