Vegan Reich was an American hardcore punk band from Laguna Beach, California, United States, active from 1986 to 1999.
Fronted by singer-songwriter Sean Muttaqi,[2] the band was formerly identified with the controversial hardline subculture, a more militant tendency of the vegan straight edge movement.
Along with Raid, Vegan Reich were one of the most well-known bands to identify with hardline.
Vegan Reich created the founding statement for the movement, in which they write of their attempted break with the straight edge and hardcore scenes.
