[Machine Translation] America's response to Eater! The only album by the tragic teen punks, The Trend, has been officially reissued in its original format! The Trend, a pop-punk band formed by three 16-year-old teenagers at the time, was billed as "America's answer to Eater. However, in 1983, Mark Patenaude, the band's leader and main songwriter, died in a car accident. The group ended in tragedy. More than 25 years have passed since then, and the albums they left behind are sold at high prices in the record market. The album "Batman Live at Budokan," released in 1982 on the Northside label, which was headed by Flashcubes, has been officially reissued with 14 bonus tracks. Co-producer and bassist Paul Armstrong of the Flashcubes participated in the album. The sound of the band, which seems to have been greatly influenced by the Ramones, Buzzcocks, and other School of Banks bands, is "one-of-a-kind" in a dimension different from that of "tragic group" or "overpriced rare item" as it is generally regarded. Original open-top paper jacket / Original insert / 24-bit remastered in 2009 / 14 bonus tracks
