Description
Volume 1 is the re-released and partially re-packed version of the first album by punk band Reagan Youth. Originally released in 1984 as Youth Anthems for the New Order, the album recorded at High 5 Studios, New York City, from 1983-early 1984. Volume 1 contains three new tracks and several different takes of songs recorded during the Youth Anthems for the New Order sessions.
Reagan Youth is an American punk rock band formed by singer Dave Rubinstein (Dave Insurgent) and guitarist Paul Bakija (Paul Cripple) in Queens, New York in early 1980. They are known for introducing the style of hardcore punk to the East Coast punk scene, but were also a part of the peace punk movement. As committed political anarchists, their name is a play on Hitler Youth.
Their initial career lasted until 1990, and singer Rubinstein committed suicide three years later following a series of tragic events. In 2006, Bakija reformed the band with bassist Al Pike, drummer Javier Madriaga, and several new members.
An important group in the New York hardcore scene, they performed regularly at CBGB and toured the U.S. extensively, often with other early punk bands such as the Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, The Misfits and the Beastie Boys.
