'''''The Early Months''''', (also known as '''''Teen Love: The Early Months'''''), is a compilation album by American noise rock band No Trend, released in 1995 through Teenbeat Records. The disc compiles demo and live recordings that were made back when the band first formed, hence the title. The album was only released on CD format, limited to 1,100 copies.<ref name="Teen Beat">{{cite web|title=Teen Beat Catalogue ((( No Trend: The Early Months )))|url=http://www.teenbeatrecords.com/items/130.html|publisher=Teen Beat|author=Salkind, Michael|accessdate=March 21, 2015}}</ref> The album cover is exactly the same picture used for the band's 1983 debut extended play ''Teen Love'', which was drawn by the band's guitarist Frank Price, who was credited as Jim Jones in the liner notes.
The first nine tracks were demo recordings that were recorded on March 18, 1983 at Inner Ear Studios. The last ten tracks were recorded during a live show the band played on January 9, 1983 at the Marble Bar.
