No Trend - Teen Love

[podcastshmodcast]

THis song, you know, came out the same time as SUICIDAL TENDENCIES 'INSTITUTIONALISED' and i alwaYS loved them as one continuation of the youth triumvant of the day. I kept forgetting who did TEEN LOVE but now, thanx to steven howard of Asheville FM, here it is, forever ever after!!!

[melissacarterTS]

they were killed in a car crash, as they were driving to and fro...

God, you just don't hear stuff like this anymore

[whydoyouwant2know]

Sounds a little like TSOL

[SmokinStubs]

@whydoyouwant2know - True Sounds Of Liberty? Wow, I totally forgot about that band. They kinda turned a litlle bit rock 'n roll in the late 80's. I still liked them though.

[turnpink]

what's the source of the footage of the monsters playing accordion and drums??

[djsi38t]

Yessssssssssss!I found this damn song after all this time!I just googled....a mini cam report described them as fine youngsters..............and I found it.It has been since 1987 since I heard this......yahooooooooooooooooo­ooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AliensexKitten000]

This versions way better (in my opinion)

[chomper]

a fuck and a yes i give this

[XChanceXReactionX]

The video deserves a lot of credit for heightening the mood. Those washes that slowly reveal faces & forms are very fitting. 'Faster Pussycat...' was a nice touch.

So happy to see clear dedication to the band. No one liked ever liked 'em that I've known.

[javanXhouse]

I like this version more

[ljp711]

Sounds exactly like the story of Escapeout's life -- typical fascist pro-Pinochet troll.

[edwardpenishandz]

Reminds me of King Missile... I like it XD

[cripplemind661]

good old no trend the best

[Kraehe]

This song is something that I would deem worthy of the term "moving". It's heartfelt, beautiful cynicism.

[TheLegitMan93]

I DEDICATE THIS SONG TO MY FORMER FRIENDS.

[fantasta1000]

absolutely fantastic sound

[pang5]

Will never be obsolete this song.

[theRCRchannel]

love this song

[sireel]

I have the good version. Maybe I'll throw together a quick still movie to post the song

[ktofotk]

ça fait 25 ans que j'écoute teen love !

[DeathMetalDouglas68]

This is way too fast - except the actual fast part is the right speed. I like the EP version the best - the '12' from 1984 with "Die", "Mass Sterilization, etc.

[melissacarterTS]

It doesn't sound too fast, it sounds just right.

[DeathMetalDouglas68]

Since 1985 I've been used to the other version. This does not sound right to me and never will. Whatever.

[Druffmaul]

@DeathMetalDouglas68

It's not just the speed, it's everything. The 12" version is better in every way. I'd kill to get an mp3 of that version. Sooooo much better than this.

[sireel]

Hey, I posted the good version of "Teen Love". you can see on my channel

[Druffmaul]

I just checked and you have two versions of Teen Love posted. But neither is the good version from the 12 inch. Sigh, disappointed again. Thanks for at least trying though, I guess...

[SwitchBladeMalone]

does anyone know who the model is at the end of this video? thnx

[mhmmveronicaa]

This song is amazing

[MrChattyO]

No Trend hated everyone! They were D.C.'s answer to Flipper! They were all about population control/suicide and hated the D.C. scene they were in. Pretty impressive at that time!!!

[rikudrk]

YES ..a gem on the internet web.

[cashgj]

What is the clip from the second half of the song?

[R4ul5k8]

what the fuck O.o

[shadowhalfcast]

no trend, no scene, no movement...anti DC / DC punk

[TrandomnesstwO]

Saw the featured picture on a moderaters sig on bs.

[JusticekneeWilypig]

Youtube lacks of No Trend...

will you right this? ...

Someone?

Please.

[orchidtender]

For the record, this is the version which appears on the LP "When Death Won't Solve Your Problem", on (Lydia Lunch's) Widowspeak records, released in 1985.

[GlobalPunditOrg]

wow i still have the Teen beat vinyl release of this record i bought when i was 11...what an awesome song for 1983...

[lumpagogo]

Global is right about about the year--1983. It's on an lp-sized record with absolutely no information on the record or the cover other than the band's name, an incredible drawing of a five-person family and some crazy writings on the back of the cover. Luckily the year is on the front of the cover, too.

The lp "Too Many Humans..." gave us a lyric sheet but no year. Had always thought that one preceded "Teen Anthem" but = who know?

[nvalidscreename]

vote thumbs up if this is better than the slick rick version

[LustForHate]

Killer band! Killer song! Punk, and beyond punk!Subversive and original. I Love it.

[goodrotty505]

we need mass sterilization caused by venereal disease

[goodrotty505]

this is a strange version....the ep version was much better

[SmokinStubs]

I think this was the EP version and it had "Mass Sterili......" Sorry, Im too lazy to type or spell, but that tune was on this album also.

[goodrotty505]

i think you are right it is my mind that has that hazy shiite..i remember being like 15 when this came out..still lookin for it to download...any suggestions?

[posthumanhero]

its been awhile...from what i remember they had 2 eps with identical songs, just different versions -- the first was a 7-inch and had the definitive version -- the second ep was a 12-inch and was more 'produced'......i honestly don't know which version this is because everything sounds primitive in 2009.....y'know?

[HerrKielbasa]

Back in the 80s they were the future of music to me.

And I still rank No Trend as one of best and most important rock bands ever.

[TelloPerd]

How more boring could this be?? All the same and the same rythme... I lost my time here...

[SmokinStubs]

Well TelloPerd,

I respect most peoples opinion, but after looking at your profile and seeing that your only a 17 year old kid from Greece that tells Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters to get a haircut, I guess I can rule your comment obsolete.

[RRPMUSICOFFICIAL]

extention to Teen Love:

TelloPerd would prefer to be anonymous

due to his intelligence being at about the levelof the dried up semen stains on his mom's underwear however his name and vaginal discharge are now and forever synonymous

[UnderTheEl]

we need more no trend on youtube

[RRPMUSICOFFICIAL]

The Curse is another one of my favourites

[agenttk421]

this is fucking great!

[jodiefostersarmy]

This was a STAPLE of WKDU radio from 1984-1985. WKDU is Drexel University in Philly. It was played so much we were sick of it.,just like Suicidal Tendencies song I saw your Mommy but I still love it, though.

Please find their other songs....

Cancer

Mass Sterilization caused by venereal disease

Too many fucking humans.

[XNEWTXNEWTX]

there from philly? cool

[jodiefostersarmy]

Nope, they were from DC I think, I'm saying this radio station in Philly played the song alot then.

[drewl64]

I've always loved this composition. thanks for posting it. I can't find it anywhere else

[SmokinStubs]

Ok, some people asked for Embed, so here you go. Have fun with it.

[SenatorJake]

Thanks homey.

[rladue2003]

this was one of the oedipus top 10 indie and import singles of 1984 - aired 12/31/84 on wbcn boston. the version i have was slightly different but it's the greatest song and what lyrics! and one of the main reasons i put an ion tape2pc machine for xmas this year. it was number 8, just ahead of echo and the bunnymen killing moon and just before an early ministry single.

[ruggedone66]

No Trend put on an awesome show back in the mid 80's. I was privledged enough to see them with Power of the Spoken Word in Norman, Oklahoma summer 1984.

[SenatorJake]

Why must this song have disabled embedding Smoking Stubs? I would think that sharing this awesome video with the world is a good idea. C'mon... pleeeeeeeeeease.

[echochroma]

Search for Phoenix Hairpins's blog and you'll find links for almost everything except When Death Won't Solve Your Problem. Teen Love is from an EP and that album but there is also a link for early recordings.

[stephenlikesvideos]

Still amazingly relevant.

[princesstinymeat]

Where oh where can I buy/download/whatever this track?!

[SmokinStubs]

You cant! This song is long time gone. I think I got this album back in 1985, and I didnt actually get the album, I recorded it from a friend. The friend is also gone (RIP)...

If you can find a recording of the whole album, please let me know. Id love to hear it again.

[sicktube66666]

one of the best songs ever! I heard it for the 1st time over 20years ago this band is a classic!

[popopew]

i reall ylike the words.

[XNEWTXNEWTX]

same im really into music like this

[gopher793]

they met during social interaction in algebra class!

[ITownley]

This band is easily in my top 10 favorites. It's too bad that they aren't recognized for what they did musically but then again I'm kind of glad for that because it would make their records cost 10x more than they already do.

[Barbaricfellow]

"This song is, in fact, called: "Teen Anthem." "

Hmmmmm...."Amazingly" I have it called "Teen Love" on "When death wont solve your problems" on "Teenlove 12 inch" on "Early months".... to name a few ..:)

BTW it's one of my all time fav's as you might have guessed :)

[SmokinStubs]

On the vinyl that me friend has (too many humans) its called "Teen Love".

I just checked it out yesterday, so we all must be right.... Either No Trend or the printing company got something fucked up. LOL

[Barbaricfellow]

Eeeh..,I was quoting some1. I said there is no such thing as "Teen Anthem" Not in their early works..,nowhere.And indeed Teen love is also on "To Many Humans". "Early Months" is yet another album where it is on.And all are different versions.BTW My fav is the one from "When Death Wont Solve your problems".For me that is their best album as well.

[SmokinStubs]

LOL,

Im a little fried out from the 80's and 90's I think. I didnt read it right, or was it left. Shit, I cant remember....

[Barbaricfellow]

He He NP

And add the seventies to it and i know the feeling :)

[striker1224]

This is such an awesome song!

[HiperJugend]

More No Trend please!

Trying to get Too Many Humans LP on ebay and elsewhere, still no luck :(((

[grahamland]

Great! I still have this on a cassette made in 1985. This is the better of the two versions of this song which I've heard.

[sirmelancholia]

I NEED an MP3 of this track......immediately!!!

[banjopete77]

Pretty sure I've seen a video of them doing this in a TV studio. Guitarist from this line up killed himself I think. No Trend's large presence in the DC scene has since been downplayed in the histories.

[SmokinStubs]

Thats too bad. From what I heard, Frank Price and Greg Miller, the guitarist and the drummer, both died back in the 80's. I never heard anything about how they died. They were a cool band.

[ChainsawCommando]

I have their original stuff on vinyl. Bought it fresh when it was released. To this day it still impresses me.

[BooBooLane]

This song is, in fact, called: "Teen Anthem."

Fabulous post, though.

"Too many Humans."

[SmokinStubs]

Yup, your right! I remember that now that you said something. I have tons of old stuff like this on tape but It's hard to remember anything after smokin all that.... You know what I'm talkin about, hehehe.

Thanks for sharing the correct info.

[BooBooLane]

Hey, Smokie (hehheh). We love 'No Trend'. We purely do!

[lumpagogo]

Yes, BooBooLane is paint on. The cut is definitely entitled "Teen Anthem."

[BurningOffCurses]

One of the most essential DC musical groups, with appropriate video accompaniment.

[sirmelancholia]

I heard half of this song on Princeton college radio in 1990 and have wanted to hear the rest of it since. Beautiful.

[nvalidscreename]

i'm so glad i can go onto youtube and find stuff like this

[xbtdx]

thank you for posting this

[rwsackett]

I freakin love this song. I've been looking for this for a long time-thanks!

[euterpen]

best band ever!!!!! long time support!

[emokilleralltime]

good song good lyrics
