naked raygun -Treason live Eagles Club,Milwaukee (1989 )

Someday a monograph about punk will give Naked Raygun its proper place of prominence in the genre's history. Naked Raygun was one of the most important punk bands to emerge in Chicago during the Reagan era. Inspired in part by the diversity of sounds in that initial wave of English punk, Naked Raygun forged a sound that was considered experimental by many of its peers early on. As the band developed, it moved into a harder-edged direction, but it also kept its knack for inventive hooks and rhythms firmly intact.
