Cover Artwork by Pushead (Metallica, Misfits). Colored Vinyl Pressed at RTI With Original Lyric Sheet. Sourced from The Master Tapes. Often compared to Black Flag, Wasted Youth was a great punk band in it’s own right and was among the exciting bands to come from the Los Angeles punk scene of the late '70s\/early '80s. If you're looking for slickness, you won't find it on\u003ci\u003e Reagan's In\u003c\/i\u003e, a ten-song EP that first came out in 1981. \u003ci\u003eReagan's In \u003c\/i\u003eis about as raw as it gets - not only does the production (or lack of production) reject slickness completely, but also, the lyrics are extremely raw, direct, and gut-level. This is true of snarling socio-political rants like the title song (an inflammatory attack on President Ronald Reagan), \"Born Deprived,\" and \"Fuck Authority,\" as well as the crude, off-color \"Uni-High Beefrag.\" Wasted Youth's lyrics are about as subtle as a sledgehammer, but then, subtlety isn't what the L.A. residents were going for - like Black Flag, the Circle Jerks, and other L.A. punk outfits of that era, Wasted Youth follows its gut instincts. And on this very angry LP, those instincts serve the band well. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackpot Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50483402309963,"sku":"1118585","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/da807d46-5e75-4fc8-851a-e7f31f32079b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727566555"},{"product_id":"young-and-bored-the-complete-wasted-youth","title":"Young And Bored - The Complete Wasted Youth","description":"\u003cp\u003e24 track double CD package from cult hardcore punk act Wasted Youth, featuring their two cult albums plus sole EP release all recorded during the 1980’s.

The EP followed five years later, and saw the band tour with the likes of Ramones and Bad Brains. ‘Black Daze’ saw the band take a more metal direction and contains a raw cover of Van Halen’s ‘On Fire’. The line up on the record featured drummer Joey Castillo who would go on to play with Danzig and Queens of the Stone Age, and bassist Dave Kushner who later formed Velvet Revolver with Slash from Guns N’ Roses and Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis release features exclusive liner notes from respected journalist Mark Freebase who conducted an interview with Dave Kushner especially for this project.

The guitar legend recently offered an official quote upon hearing about this reissue, stating: “Wasted Youth was the rallying cry for rebellious kids such as myself who were wasted, anti-social, anti-establishment rock n roll enthusiasts, they were fucking great.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dissonance","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50532338827595,"sku":"2218663","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Screenshot_2024-08-23_at_18.09.32_05b8e317_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1728120088"},{"product_id":"wild-and-raw","title":"Wild and…Raw","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eWild and Raw\u003c\/em\u003e is the original \u003cem\u003eWild and Wandering\u003c\/em\u003e album before studio trickery, audio edits, most of the overdubs and a few special FX were added, so as the title suggests, it captures Wasted Youth as they would have sounded live at the time.
