Would have to be right up there for 80's Punk/Hardcore Bands I just found the lyrics so sarcastically hateful of all the right things but also so much hopelessness, I like their style.

Second Album was nowhere near as good although there were a few classics, regardless they are legends and I cant imagine a punk band having anywhere near the same impact anymore as these guys must have had when they came out.

Degenerated!, i picked their greatest at greedy on the off chance, the sale person asked me if it was racist, it made me smile that old punk cud still stir while being ironic.

Wow - there's a name from the past!! 'Youth Anthems....' is a cracker. Heard that 'Live and Rare' disc?? How's it stand up to 'Youth Anthems...'?

I remember listening to them back in the 80's... don't really remember much of them though... and haven't heard them since!

I wonder if there's a band called "Bush Youth"... :wink:

Just read this dudes...

Quote:

The surviving members of Reagan Youth have announced intent to record some new material. Filling in for their late frontman Dave Insurgent is Pat McGowan from the band Distraction.
McGowan spoke to Riot Fest about the idea.
"The more we tell people we're doing it the more we actually have to. [It is] going to sound like the last Reagan Youth album where it's all different styles. There was never one consistent sound. Some songs are slow, some songs are fast, some songs are in the middle, some songs are just grooves. "
The original band was together for nearly a decade, but released only one album, Youth Anthems for the New Order, which was later collected along with other material for A Collection Of Pop Classics.

Fuck nose wha this'll be like... mature core?
