And he then attended a show at CBGB's; where once he had his head shaved; he became associated with the band at times hauling Paul's amps and equipment into the city from Queens in his Dodge Dart.

Bonet departed soon after; after the band briefly rehearsed with Rubinstein filling in on drums, Steve Weissman joined full-time.

After graduation and the release of their first record, the seven-song Youth Anthems for the New Order EP, they began touring nationally and were regulars at the Sunday afternoon hardcore matinee shows at CBGB.

Despite their decision to disband, the group attracted the attention of the burgeoning punk label New Red Archives, with whom they signed a two-album deal.

Pike and New Red Archives owner Nicky Garratt, also the guitarist for the British band the UK Subs, contributed liner notes for this release.

In early 2010 McGowen was let go and after a year of inactivity, the band resumed performed live in late 2010 with new singer Kenny Young, with drummer Mike Sabatino replacing Madriaga.

Paul Rye and Sabatino were soon after replaced by drummer Felipe Torres who introduced the band to his student Stig Whisper and Trey Oswald.

That lineup remained intact until Trey Oswald ran off stage in Vancouver at which time the band replaced them with Jeff Penalty (ex-Dead Kennedys) on vocals and Rick Contreras on drums.

Paul went to Germany and recorded five songs with German Max Motherfucker and drummer Bjorn Irlinger from the band Oxymoron where they toured.

The most recent line up consisted of Scott Sturgeon of Leftover Crack, Choking Victim and Star Fucking Hipsters as singer.

[9] Reagan Youth is an aggressively anarchist, socialist, and anti-racist band, and often utilized Ku Klux Klan and Nazi Party imagery for satirical effect.

In their original 1980s incarnation, they sought to address the parallels between the policies of Ronald Reagan, the Christian Right and American conservatism, and the beliefs of the hate groups.

Musically, the band was firmly rooted in the early hardcore/punk crossover tradition, but moved deeper into waters uncharted by their punk rock contemporaries as their career progressed.
