Love the Music, Hate the Kids is American hardcore punk band Ensign's fourth full-length album. It is an album of cover versions of seminal hardcore punk songs from the early-1980s to mid-1990s. It was recorded in seven days and released in October 2003. It was the band's first album for Blackout Records after switching from Nitro Records after the release of The Price of Progression in 2001.

## Overview

[edit]

Ensign's journey from hardcore punk on their first album, Direction of Things to Come, in 1997 through to metalcore on The Price Of Progression – taking a middleground stance on Cast the First Stone in 1999 – saw them now turning full-circle into seminal, old school punk and doing an album of cover versions which had been important to them in their formative years and recognised by many fans as important to the genre.

Personnel for this recording was different from the previous release, with a different guitarist and drummer. The rushed production of the material – seven days from start to finish – did not hinder the sound; in fact it contributed to the overall "garage band" period authenticity of the project. A Killing Time cover, "Telltale", has a guest spot on guitar by Carl Porcaro who was a founding member of a New York band called Raw Deal which later became known as Killing Time. The band did receive some criticism for the Descendents' track[3] "I'm Not a Loser".
