Naked Raygun - Reissues

Naked Raygun were an extraordinary staple in the Chicago music scene—beginning in the early 80s and continuing until their quiet demise in the early 90s. Their music showed the world that punk rockers could play and be really good at it. Founded in Chicago in 1980 by Marco Pezzati, Jeff Pezzati, and Santiago Durango, Naked Raygun released six albums during their eleven-year career that would change the sound of punk rock indefinitely. The band is widely recognized as being one of the most influential punk bands of the 80s. Their anthemic style incorporated politics in a uniquely accessible way, melding pop and hardcore into one cohesive sound that would later be dubbed "The Chicago Sound." Shortly after their first release, Basement Screams, Durango left to join Big Black permanently and was replaced by John Haggerty, whose unique style of buzzsaw guitar would define Raygun's sound for their next four albums. Additionally, Pierre Kezdy replaced Camilo Gonzalez and Eric Spicer took over drums for Jim Colao. In 1990, Haggerty left the band to start Pegboy. Bill Stephens joined the band for their final studio release entitled Raygun...Naked Raygun.
