MINOR THREAT - You Betrayed Me By Growing Up (LIVE)
And we’re back folks! Hope you all enjoyed your holidays. While we were on break, I came across this rare, previously unreleased Minor Threat song, and I thought it would be great to share with all of you.
While Minor Threat isn’t the type of music I generally cover here, they are near and dear to my heart as one of the first hardcore bands I ever laid ears on. The members’ subsequent work in Fugazi and Bad Religion further shaped my young, musical mind, and as such, I feel a debt of gratitude to these guys.
This song is called, “You Betrayed Me By Growing Up,” and it was recorded at Woodlawn High School in Arlington, VA back in 1982. The quality isn’t the best, nor is the mix, but this is the only version that exists.
EDIT: I’ve been notified that “You Betrayed Me By Growing Up” was originally discovered by the good people at More Than A Witness, and I am happy to give them the credit for originally sharing this. Check out them out and find a whole bunch of rad hardcore bootlegs: More Than A Witness.
