JERK WARD - Too Young to Thrash
"A teenage adrenalin overdose of blazing hardcore thrash with guest appearances by the NEOS! Contains full “Flesh & Bones” ‘84 demo except one song replaced by an early version from “BYO – Medium Raw” comp tape ‘82, and one unreleased track.
Packed with all original artwork + photos circa 82-84, plus a booklet with interview + art. All professionally 24-bit remastered. 100% authorized. All members aged 14 to 17 years old!" - Supreme Echo.
"warp-speed early-80s hardcore...JERK WARD were friends of the NEOS, and you can hear their influence in the music....this LP sounds great considering its comprised of demo recordings...the fast stuff gives DRI, YOUTH KORPS, and STARK RAVING MAD a run for their money in the speed department, but far from being monochrome thrash, JERK WARD varies the tempos and also throws in weird guitar work to keep you on your toes. Lovingly compiled and well worth tracking down." - MRR, Oct. 2009. Features Stephen McBean of Black Mountain/Pink Mountaintops.
