Brave New World, in addition to being a futurist novel by Aldous Huxeley, is a punk record by an obscure band from Atlanta, Georgia called D.D.T. They kick things off with a bouncy cover of "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood," very cute. "Girls Girls Girls" follows, a weird hardcore number where the singing dude spits forth a staggering amount of lyrics about his bad luck with ladies. The title track speaks of a myriad of modern ills in under a minute. The most interesting track is the more post-punky number "I'm Walking Down the Psychopath." This delicious EP wraps appropriately with "The End." D.D.T. crammed a lot of information into an eight minute record. Brave New World was released in 1983, the band followed up in 1984 with a great LP called Broken Toy.

Interesting little record.
Thanks again, man!
Great post, this band is completely new to me!
Used to see them all the time at the Metroplex in the 80's. Always put on a great show. 'Carlos' and 'The Vein' from the Broken Toy LP are absolute MUSTS for fans of early hardcore/metal crossover. This little EP is fun too. After DDT most of the members (with new singer) formed the even more metallic Threshold of Pain. One cassette release.
