Betrayed were a Phillipino-American punk band in the '80s who drew inspiration from early UK punk and Oi music and reggae. The band's history is very complex with members moving back and forth between New York and The Phillipines, and changing line-ups many times along the way. The whole story of Betrayed can be read here. This cassette was released in 1986, six years after the band formed. It has fourteen spunky, punky anthems addressing all the usual subjects:Unity, the kids, fighting, life in the city streets, y'know, punk things.

This shit's awesome. "Never Meant to Be This Way" is probably my favorite cut. However, I think the low production value is a bit *too* low for my liking. What else do you recommend listening to after this, Aesop?
Have you heard The Jerks? Another great band from the Philippines. Their album Jerk Off is killer '77 power pop.
No, but I'd like to.
