Reagan Youth

Reagan Youth was a band started by singer Dave Rubinstein (Dave Insurgent) and his friend and guitarist Paul Bakija in Queens in the early 1980s. They have been labeled peace punk as well as hardcore and released 2 LPs (Volumes I & II) before disbanding in the late '80s, when Ronald Reagan left office. Both are available on a single CD called "A Collection of Pop Classics" on New Red Archives. Known for their use of Klu Klux Klan and Nazi Party imagery, the band expressed its political views through ironically donning actual uniforms from the two hate groups and writing songs like "Jesus Was a Communist," an interesting stab at the Christian fundamentalists in the United States, and "New Aryans," an anti-Ronald Reagan/yuppie and also anti-racist anthem. Typical downward spiral into addiction/depression led to Insurgent's 1993 suicide.
