"The Kids Will Have Their Say" is the debut album by the Boston hardcore band SS Decontrol. Released in 1982, the album was heralded as the first straight edge album. It helped define the Boston hardcore scene and influenced countless bands that came after them. The original LP was a split-release between Dischord and X-Claim records. Only 1,000 copies were pressed, making it a hard to find and expensive collector's item. In 1987, a bootleg was made with the label names changed to Discord and Ex-Claim, making it easy to separate from the original pressing.
After being out of print for 41 years, "The Kids Will Have Their Say" has finally received a proper reissue from Trust Records. The audio has been remastered and the iconic cover has been recreated. The original album was recorded on a shoestring budget, but the remastering brings out the intensity of the band's performance.
Overall, the reissue is a fitting tribute to a classic album, and it is sure to introduce a new generation of fans to the music of SS Decontrol.
