The Flaming Racers. Porcupine Love. These could have been our band names. We could have been surfers in Tulsa, elephant trainers in Thailand, ants…any number of things. A lot could have gone differently. But somehow, against all odds and logic, we became a group of punk rockers in Chicago, Illinois, making what felt like an atomic love bomb, and we knew it. This was self-actualization in real time: manifestos and stratagems, calls to arms. Zines planted at every Blue Line stop and coffee shop we could find. Frances B. playing trombone and trumpet at the same time. Niko K. shrieking like a newly born pterodactyl, and a whole generation of newly born pterodactyls alongside him, stomping and kicking. Not crying for their mothers, but for youth expression, liberated bodies, dance spaces, rave-ups, and hops.If any of this sounds silly, you are a silly person. But if it sounds like a future you want to be part of, welcome. This compilation is not a reminiscence of the good old days or a document of a time long gone, it is NOW! Please join us. The future is yours and mine.\u003cbr\u003e- Kai Slater\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003ereleased March 18, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ecompiled by Eli Schmitt\u003cbr\u003emastered by Liam Mcghie and Greg Obis\u003cbr\u003ecover photo by Mariana Belaval\u003cbr\u003epressed by Desert Island Recordings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ewe dedicate this compilation to punks everywhere, those with young heart and ready hands who will one day remake this world from the ashes of empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ea million and one thank yous to Kai, Penelope, Gigi, Nora, Cole, Asher, Isaac, Amaya, Sofia, Niko, Gabe + Record Club, this project is only a shadow of many lives xeroxed to infinity.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tone Deaf Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49453017465072,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/3315\/5912\/files\/R-403850-1537009242-7200_9b7889c6-b20d-4722-bf4f-cb1ff26f8bec.jpg?v=1774462100","url":"https:\/\/tonedeafrecs.com\/products\/new-v-a-red-xerox-chicago-youth-beat-2020-2025-lp","provider":"Tone Deaf Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
