Our Take

Buckle up, punk rockers, because we're taking a trip down memory lane with Reagan Youth and their latest release, The Poss Tapes - 1981-1984. This album is a true blast from the past, capturing the raw energy and rebellious spirit of the early '80s punk scene.

From the moment you press play, you're transported back to a time when DIY ethics and political protest were at the forefront of music. The gritty production and blistering guitar riffs make you feel like you're right there in the sweaty basement shows of yesteryear, beers in hand and fists in the air.

Tracks like "Degenerated" and "Reagan Youth" are anthems for a generation disillusioned with the status quo, while "In Dog We Trust" is a tongue-in-cheek ode to man's best friend. The songwriting may not be the most polished, but that's part of the charm - these guys weren't in it for radio play or mainstream success, they were in it to make a statement.

The Poss Tapes is a must-listen for anyone who wants to dive deep into the roots of punk rock and see where it all began. So grab your leather jacket, throw on some safety pins, and get ready to pogo like it's 1984. You won't regret it.
