Trust Records announces their inaugural release in partnership with Bad Brains and produced
in cooperation with band, the legendary but never-before-released 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.
