U2

Three tracks of jagged, high-energy post-punk. A document of a young band finding their voice through scratchy guitars and restless, teenage urgency.

Hear the exact moment a bunch of Dublin teenagers decided they were going to be the biggest band in the world.

A nervous, high-velocity burst of teenage ambition and jagged energy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The frantic, unrefined guitar scratch that opens Out of Control, signaling a band with everything to prove.
Bono's voice cracking slightly under the pressure of the high notes in Boy-Girl, revealing a vulnerability lost in later years.
The way the bass and drums lock into a tight, nervous groove halfway through Stories for Boys.
