Unsourced, does not meet WP:NBAND//WP:MUSIC, and only claims to notability are completely unsourced. In short: this was a restored PROD that should have stayed deleted (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:24, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete As usual with lesser-known music groups from the pre-web era, this is hard. I cannot however source this at all: Although Youth Brigade existed as a band for less than a year, they are still considered an important part of the DC hardcore punk scene, influencing many other bands and bandmembers (most notably Bert Queiroz), and forming other bands such as Double-O and the highly influential post-hardcore band, Rain. I will note that I did find a book hit for a hardcore band called Youth Brigade, with the specific note that it is "not the same-named DC band", which I assume is this one. So Youth Brigade (band) is notable, while this one is not. § FreeRangeFrog croak 18:00, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. The band has an entry in Encyclopedia of Punk Music and Culture, and is covered fairly widely (and to varying degrees) in books on US punk, e.g. Dance of Days: Two Decades of Punk in the Nation's Capital, The Dave Grohl Story, Not So Quiet on the Western Front, American Hardcore: A Tribal History, A Cultural Dictionary of Punk: 1974-1982, Post: A Look at the Influence of Post-Hardcore-1985-2007, Encyclopedia of recorded sound: A-L, Volume 1, and in Maximumrocknroll. --Michig (talk) 18:03, 13 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment A few additional book sources, which seem to be merely passing mentions:  . I don't think these serve to establish notability, and they certainly do not back the assertions made in the article. I would expect a lot more from a band created 31 years ago that allegedly had such a huge impact on the genre. § FreeRangeFrog  croak 18:08, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Per WP:BAND point 5 - two or more albums on a notable record label. And per all the [{WP:RS|coverage]] found by Michig.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 09:49, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Influential DC Hardcore band with a Teen Idles/Dischord Records connection. Ample sources above. Our punk rock history coverage needs improvement down the line, including this piece. Carrite (talk) 18:46, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
