I shot the videos below as well as a photo gallery<\/b><\/a> of Reagan Youth, “the reformed 80\u2019s iconic hardcore punk band out of NYC,” this week at The Brick.<\/p>\n I got a cd in the mail and will prepare a review of it as well as the band presently. Give me a few days.<\/p>\n Here’s some of the advance PR that was received via email from Nico, their tour manager:<\/p>\n “The band is going to playing the Brick by Brick club on the 1st of October…<\/p>\n “Dave insurgent and Paul Cripple formed Reagan Youth in Queens New York, attending High school at the same time as the Ramones, and helped define the emerging punk scene. Paul broke up the band after Dave committed suicide in 1993, an event spurred on in part by Dave\u2019s girlfriend being murdered by serial killer Joel Rifkin.<\/p>\n “On this tour Reagan Youth will be playing songs from Dave and Paul\u2019s unreleased and final work together, entitled \u201cHouse of God\u201d. These long Zeppelin \/ Sabbath-esq tracks, previously only available as rare demos laid down only weeks before Dave\u2019s tragic death, we\u2019re to be the next chapter. House of God is to Religion as Reagan Youth is to Politics, and the band is thrilled to finally give these songs the audience they deserve.<\/p>\n “This was the last time \u201cHouse of God\u201d was played live, back in \u201988 in Tompkins Square Park NYC… video<\/a>.”<\/p>\nPaul Cripple of Reagan Youth 2014
