The Flatliners – “Chaos Youth EP”

A masterclass in late-90s street punk, The Chaos Youth EP captures The Flatliners at their rawest and most kinetic. Originally unleashed via A.D.D. Records, this release delivers a relentless sonic assault heavily influenced by the hyper-speed energy of The Casualties and the gritty, driving anthems of A Global Threat. What makes this record so compelling is its uncompromising stance; tracks like Fight For Yourself and Chaos Youth explode with genuine, blue-collar frustration, balancing blistering d-beat tempos with surprisingly catchy, shout-along choruses. It stands as a definitive document of the era’s DIY underground scene, dripping with sweat, feedback, and pure anti-authoritarian spirit.
