Label: Trust

Release Date: November 6th, 2026

Standard black vinyl version.

Trust Records announces their inaugural release (in partnership with the band) of the legendary but previously unreleased first studio recording Are You Ready: The First Studio Recording (Inner Ear - March 1979). Mixed for release in 2026 by Ian MacKaye (Fugazi, Minor Threat) these six songs set the underground music world on fire in 1979 as the word of their ferocity spread like wildfire. Now, over 40 years later with heavy music back in the zeitgeist via bands like Turnstile, new fans of hardcore punk and longtime fans of the legendary D.C. punk alike will be able to hear the first document by a band that struck like lightning.
