Often compared to Black Flag , Wasted Youth was a great punk band in its 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 Reagan's In, a ten-song EP that first came out in 1981. Reagan's In is 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 "~censored~ 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 EP, those instincts serve the band well.
