OFF!

"Learn to Obey"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Mar 26, 2014

In addition to OFF!'s upcoming Wasted Years LP, the hardcore crew are getting into the Record Store Day spirit by issuing an exclusive two-song single. Since the vinyl event is still about a month away, the band are mercifully letting loose the old-school attack of one of the tracks, "Learn to Obey," now.

The tune puts riled-up riffs and a revved-up punk beats beneath Keith Morris' sarcastically shouted-out lines about giving in to the powers that be ("If you just learn to obey, everything will be ok"). Regardless of whether you heed his advice and conform to the norm, or use the aggro track as inspiration to rebel against society, you can check the tune out in the player down below.

Fun fact: the 7-inch cover art was whipped up by Shepard Fairey of OBEY fame. Hooray for puns!

While the single drops April 19, Wasted Years arrives ahead of time on April 8, through a href="http://vicerecords.com/" target="_blank">Vice Records.
