Our Take

Welcome, my fellow music enthusiasts, to the wild and wonderful world of Reagan Youth and their latest release, "The Posse Tapes - 1981-1984". This collection of gems from the early years of the band is a journey back in time to the heyday of punk rock, with all its rebellious energy and DIY spirit.

From the gritty chords of "Degenerated" to the anthemic fury of "Reagan Youth", this album is a treasure trove of raw, unfiltered punk goodness. The lo-fi production only adds to the charm, giving each track a sense of urgency and authenticity that is hard to come by in today's overproduced music landscape.

The vocals of Dave Insurgent are a force of nature, cutting through the chaos with a sense of righteous anger and defiance. The guitar work of Paul Bakija is equally fierce, delivering blistering riffs that will have you banging your head in no time.

But what truly sets Reagan Youth apart is their fearless approach to social and political commentary. Tracks like "New Aryans" and "Jesus Was a Communist" tackle heavy topics with a sense of urgency and passion that is as relevant today as it was in the 1980s.

In conclusion, "The Poss Tapes - 1981-1984" is a must-listen for any fan of punk rock or anyone looking to add a dose of rebellious energy to their music collection. So crank up the volume, grab a beer, and let Reagan Youth take you on a wild ride back to the glory days of punk.
