Description

Rights of the Accused started out as teenage hardcore punk band with a humorous lyrical bent. The band was formed in 1982 in Chicago, IL, by Mike O’Connell (vocals), Anthony Illarde (drums), and Jay Yuenger (guitar). After a few different bassists moved in and out of the group, Steve Stepe joined in time to appear on the band’s first 7″, “Innocence”, which released a label run by Steve and his brothers. Steve left the band in 1984 when he moved away from Chicago and was replaced by Tom Faulkener, who had previously sung for Negative Element (a band which, ironically, featured Steve’s brothers Barry and Chopper). In 1985, former Political Justice? guitarist Wes Kidd was added to the group.
