Public Disturbance - New Jersey 1983

Can anyone identify this band? The show is from the 1982-1984 hardcore period. A few people think it might be Bedlam from New Jersey. This is off of a video and was recorded from the audience. The sound quality is rough but good.

01. intro
02. It's About Time
03. Youth Corps

    I don't think that is Bedlam, IMHO. At least this doesn't sound at all like their BOR releases. Then again those came out in 86, maybe this was an earlier incarnation.

    Check out two of their releases at http://systemsabotagechaos.blogspot.com/2009/03/bedlam-st-lp-lost-in-space-12.html

    The AOD/Bedlam split is floating around as well.

    The first Bedlam LP was released in 1984 and they had a demo before that LP. http://www.killfromtheheart.com/bands.php?id=732
    It might not be Bedlam, though.

    it's the last 3 ones. On here, i must say that the singer is looking alot like the one from bedlam (check the pic on the killfromtheheart website), but the music is not the one on their lp...

    thanks bat29 for posting that recording, let's see if it's going somewhere

    Pretty sure this is Public Disturbance from New Jersey. They had a LP and 7" out on Mutha Records. I had a copy of this on the end of The Necros video and didn't know who it was for years, didn't recognize any of the songs apart from the covers but then I got a copy of the Public Disturbance LP and recognized some of the tracks from the video.
