FLEX YOUR HEAD LP (Yellow Vinyl, Featuring Teen Idles, Untouchables, SOA, Minor Threat & more)

A perfectly pugnacious snapshot of the first wave of D.C. hardcore, Dischord Records’ Flex Your Head compilation delivers not only early tracks from Minor Threat, Void and Government Issue — as well as Henry Rollins’ pre-Black Flag band, State of Alert — but a peek behind the curtain of one of punk’s most legendary and genre-codifying scenes. Featuring 11 bands, 32 songs and 41 minutes of raw, unfettered aural intensity, Flex Your Head is a speed-forward sampler that set the bar super high at the dawn of the Eighties hardcore movement.
