EJECTED YOUTH - THE STORY SO FAR... | 2006/2007 In the summer of ’98 Matze and Keks started the project Rejected Youth, which wasn’t supposed to last too long at that time. Both the music and the lyrics were either taken from or influenced by old U.S. Hardcore Bands like Youth Of Today, Minor Threat and Sick Of It All. But just covering old songs wasn’t satisfying enough and therefore 6 months later they set to a real start with Andy Pfeiffer on bass guitar, writing their own lyrics, composing their own songs. Now they orientated themselves more on traditional punkrock. Direct and dirty, rough and inconvenient. They were conscious of the liability that a band has and so the messages steadily became more political and critical. Songs like "Fragile" and "Outworn" spoke out loud and clear. In late ´99 they realeased their first and only Demo-Tape "Millennium". Three days later they signed a record deal with Streetmusic Berlin which put out the "Screwballs" 7" EP in 2000. After a tour with Oxymoron in Canada was unfortunately canceled they changed the label and in 2001 released the 10’’ EP / CD "not for phonies” on Halb-7-Records and Bandworm Records. The reactions were enthusiastic! Fanzines and mailorders loved the record and the comparison was (almost) always the same: Something like "It sounds like Oxymoron...". Do I have to tell you more? That was the point when Andy Braun (Braune), an old buddy, joined on the second guitar and brought new energy and ideas into the band. R
