Youth Defense League was an American Oi!/New York hardcore (NYHC) band formed in 1986.

History[edit]

The band was featured in the Revelation Records compilation album New York City Hardcore, which featured several NYHC bands, including Sick of It All and Gorilla Biscuits.[1]

The band's usage of nationalistic slogans and struggle for the downtrodden working-class man has garnered much support from fascist groups worldwide despite the band denying such claims, arguing that they merely promoted an inclusive positive attitude towards the US and not fascism.[2] The band's lyrics leaned right-wing, patriotic, though not xenophobic. However, seven years after YDL’s last release, the lead singer was photographed in 2012 with the bassist of Skrewdriver,[citation needed]aRock Against Communism skinhead band with several overtly racist lyrics.
