Lower Class Brats
Rather Be Hated Than Ignored (black)
Originally released on CD in 1997 by GMM Records, Rather Be Hated Than Ignored served as LOWER CLASS BRATS' raucous
statement of intent. Combining influences from 70s UK Punk, Oi! and UK82 and early California Hardcore, Rather Be Hated
served to quickly and definitively establish the BRATS' style, and their legacy. Heavy on melody, attitude, and a
distinctly American sense of confrontation, their debut album remains a foundational entry in the American Street Punk
canon.
This reissue bears all the hallmarks fans have come to expect from TKO. Rather Be Hated Than Ignored has been expertly
remastered, repackaged and restored, all with our signature attention to detail. For the first time ever, the original
GMM track sequence is available on a vinyl edition. When you get the opportunity to revisit a classic like this, half
measures are not an option.
So there you go- LOWER CLASS BRATS' debut album finally gets to treatment it's long deserved. Now generations of LCB
fans can enjoy the band's first volley in their war of attrition against false Punk and all forms of poserdom: a fight
they still wage to this day.
Apostates, take heed.
