With a flyer as detailed as this one, I guess I don't really have much to say.

But for those of you who don't know, UK-based Varukers formed in the very late '70s and are credited as one of the founders of D-beat, a style of punk that is a bit heavier than, say, the Sex Pistols. Basically, these bands really dig Motörhead and who can blame them for that?

Reagan Youth was one of the first and most beloved New York hardcore bands. The group's lyrics often dealt with anarchy and anti-racist beliefs. Sadly, lead singer Dave Rubenstein killed himself in 1993 after his girlfriend was murdered by serial killer Joel Rifkin. The new version of Reagan Youth -- with singer Pat McGowan -- has been playing since 2006.
