My old days
So I started Skating first half in 7th grade when I lived in the city of Orange in Cali, this would have been fall of 85...
I was into music but mainly what was on mtv at the the time, van halen, early motley crue, etc... I was 11/12 and lived in the burbs so cut me some
slack.
I was aware of some punk but nothing had struck me yet.
Then we moved to Chino a shitty cow further north and east from LA and I skated more and more. I met a new group of friends and this was the first
band they turned me on to. Liberation Crutch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=...amp;v=UeCC5AstSUE
They were local guys a few years older than us played in garages of kids we skated with.
They changed everything for me. I got more into music and skating, and then started playing music. Music led to art and printing and well, here I am
some 30ish years later.
I have told countless friends about them over the years but never could find any music and I only had a dubbed demo that died in a cassette deck when
I was 14 or so.
So fast forward to 99 and I meet some guys from a band called Man will Surrender and they were in another local band called POW that was a little
bigger back then, but they played with LC and had recordings. So we emailed a few times but I never was able to get any music.
So tonight a facebook friend from LA that I know as print customer starts posting up some old LA underground hardcore bands and posts us some POW. I
ask him if he has any Liberation Crutch and he says no, never hear them.
A quick google search and bam there are 2 tracks on youtube... so I post one up in his POW thread and who posts but the old singer of POW and MWS and
he says he has the tracks. 30 minutes later I get and email with all the tracks...
What a small freaking world the internet has created.
if anyone wants to hear other tracks I will share them.
but the 2 in this thread were my favorites and total mid 80's so cal skate hardcore goodness.

Gotta love the old days. It's amazing how many things from our younger days can be found online. I sometimes go looking for specific things just to
see if I can find any trace of it online.
