Our Take

Ah, Reagan Youth - the OG punk rockers with a penchant for politics and a sound that's as gritty as a British pub toilet on a Saturday night. The Poss Tapes - 1981-1984 is a time capsule of raw energy, rebellious spirit, and enough anarchic attitude to make Johnny Rotten blush.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you can almost smell the sweat and beer-soaked floors of CBGB's. The reckless abandon of songs like "Reagan Youth" and "New Aryans" is as infectious as a punk rock plague, spreading like wildfire through your ears and into your soul.

But it's not all noise and fury - there's a surprising amount of musicality on display here. The guitar work is frenetic and frenzied, the basslines are as groovy as a snake-hipped punk rocker, and the drumming is tighter than a pair of bondage pants.

And let's not forget frontman Dave Insurgent's vocals - a mix of snarling aggression and sneering sarcasm that's as punk as a safety pin through the nose.

Sure, the recording quality might be a bit rough around the edges, but that just adds to the album's charm. The Poss Tapes captures Reagan Youth at their most primal and unbridled, a snapshot of a band on the brink of greatness.

So grab yourself a leather jacket, spike up your hair, and crank up the volume - Reagan Youth are back, baby, and they're taking no prisoners.
