The Landlords - Hey It's A Teenage House Party! LP


Hey It's A Teenage House Party! is really, really solid, especially considering it came out in like 1982 from bumfuck Virginia. It was released by singer John Beers' Catch Trout Records, and has enjoyed some underground fame as one of the best unknown 80's hardcore records. It has that same ironic vibe as like Angry Samoans or early Reagan Youth. Plus Dave Smalley of DYS / Dag Nasty fame did back-up vocals on 'Nuns in Black Leather' so you know it's good. Anyway, get into it.

Around the same time as Minor Threat was getting things going in DC, the Landlords were playing to the sleepy hippie town of Charlottesville. Somehow there was actually a reasonably scene in 'Ch-ville' in the early 80's, played mostly by UVa kids and a few townies. The Landlords were sweet, and put out an awesome, if unknown LP.
