Anniversary is an EP by the hardcore punk band the Teen Idles. It was released in 1996 on Dischord Records to commemorate the label's 100th release.[2][3] The EP contains material from the two demo sessions the band recorded in February and April 1980. Tracks 1 and 3 were written by the Slinkees, the original name of the band before Nathan Strejcek joined on vocals.
Writing for AllMusic, critic Jack Rabid said, "This is Teen Idles as a punk band, at merely really fast tempos, before they opted for the blinding thrash rush that led to such speeds becoming the stupid staple of hardcore...Like their then-D.C. friends the Bad Brains, only half as good, Teen Idles were actually a budding punk pleasure in their pre-hardcore days".[1]
