Background notes

Archive material and source history

Wasted Youth formed in Los Angeles in the early 1980s. Their debut album 'S.O.S.' came out in 1983, and they followed it with records like 'Yesterday's Hero' and 'Rehab' over the next few years. Songs like 'Any Gun Can Play' and 'Floyd The Barber' gave their punk a blunt, confrontational edge.

Their lyrics often took aim at authority, which sometimes got them into trouble with police and conservative groups. Shows got shut down, and they faced arrests. They kept playing anyway, with Armando Acosta on vocals and guitar, Juan Carlos Vasquez on lead guitar, Tommy 'El Toro' Gallo on bass, and Danny Acon on drums.

They put out a handful of albums through the mid-80s, including 'Nothing to Lose' and 'Punk's Not Dead'. Tracks like 'Reagan's In' and 'Gang Violence' carried that same raw, pissed-off energy. By the end of the decade, they'd released a compilation called 'The Best of Wasted Youth'.
