Nice upload! Wish bands like them still existed. Thanks for keepin this art available to the newer generations to have some inspiration.

this is really good stuff

Back to 1980’s fantastic 👏👏👏👍👍👍

Saludos desde Toluca México 🙂

The killing joke influence is too obvious to ignore, but 1919 have a sound all their own. Less industrial than KJ with the same amount of raw aggression. Much luv for the band

This is awesome. Thank you! Fucking great. I hope to find more about the band somewhere. Hope its not just another asshole band. NO offense and thank you for what you share with the world.

So is there an actual CD to purchase?

Some of the best drum work I've ever heard

Amazing drums… but KJ thing is a bit mad….

Classic. Great tune. Great days.

So these guys are playing Today in the same little city from L.A that James Hetfield (Metallica) grew up in called Downey. 4-6-2019. Interesting.

Hello i am Brasil name of band is 1919 ?

great one thanks alot good memroies alive in the now

Wow

like a deathrock killing joke

Love this! Being the a huge Killing Joke fan how could I resist?

I love kj inspired bands. 1919 plague of fools headhunters red beat. Those 4 come to mind. I have nothing against it at all. I want to find more kj copycats. If anyone can direct me towards more soundalikes please come forth.

I still have this on vinyl & everything else they did great band Real Goth sound with tribal drums etc Not all this pretend shit now with keyboards etc, They wanted to be Killing Joke so much & supported them a few times Cry Wolf is still my fave track by 1919 so killing Joke sounding & classic single

Thanks for sharing this hard pounding top drawer straight laced shite

Oh my god it sounds so much like killing joke. Especially the hunted, jesus. Vocalist sounds quite a bit like Coleman as well.

This is even better than I thought it would be. I thought they were a Synthpop group and the fact that they're an all-out, guitar-driven band (and a good one at that) makes them one of the best.
