About Me


____________________________________________________________ ______
Attention: Raised Under Reagan does not play music for a bunch of “dudes” and “bros” to walk around shirtless, act tough, and look cool in front of their friends.
Raised Under Reagan does not make music for a bunch of trendy fuck-heads who want to name-drop obscure bands and labels and talk endlessly about how freethinking and non-conformist they are to other people who are dressed exactly the fucking same as them.
Raised Under Reagan does not simplify their lyrics into catchy, sloganized, sing-a-long-able sound-bytes for alterna-teens with their mommy’s credit card, a gift certificate to Hot Topic, and Punk Voter bookmarked on their browser.
Raised Under Regan does not pander to the audience by playing the same rehashed three fucking power-chords and posing as Mike Ness and Joe Strummer wannabe’s.
Raised Under Regan would like you to buy stuff from them, but would probably like it more if you just fucking killed yourself.
Raised Under Reagan thinks you suck and your whole fucking “scene” is bullshit.
Raised Under Reagan does not believe revolutions were waged with haircuts and record collections.
Raised Under Reagan makes fast, pissed-off, politically-charged music for scholars, professors, thinkers, philosophers, and potential serial-killers. ____________________________________________________________ ______
