[edit] Early years
Nathan Strejcek (ex-Teen Idles) and Danny Ingram formed Youth Brigade. After playing with a couple different bassists and guitarists, they settled on Bert Quieros (The Untouchables, Double O) and Tom Clinton on guitar.
[edit] Breakup
Even though Youth Brigade were only around for less than a year, they are still considered an important part of the DC hardcore punk scene, influencing countless other bands as well as members (mainly Bert Queiroz) forming other bands such as Double-O and and the highly influential post-hardcore band, Rain.
