THE BRAT - Attitudes EP 1980

The Brat was an influential Chicano punk band from East Los Angeles, California, formed in the late 1970s by singer Teresa Covarrubias and guitarist brothers Rudy and Sid Medina. They played their first gig at the opening of The Vex, housed in the now defunct Self Help Graphics and instrumental in providing access to many local bands at the time. Their unique style of aggressive pop, highlighted by intelligent lyrics and passionate stage performances, engaged audiences and won them critical acclaim as well as the covers of Low-Rider Magazine and the L.A. Weekly. Their first EP Attitude was cited as one of the five best independent releases in 1980, with melodic hooks and crunchy guitars, this record sounds as fresh today as when it was originally recorded. One of the best punk rock records recorded during the 80s by an American band. A must have!!
