Reagan Youth fans, listen up! Reagan Youth Live & Rare, Disorder Now! Anthology 1981–1984, The Complete Youth Anthems for the New Order, A Collection of Pop Classics, The Poss Tapes 1981–1984 & Volume III are all streaming everywhere — can’t stress that enough! 🎧💥

During their reformation, Reagan Youth took a short break from live shows (2009–2010), and this gig marked their comeback with Kenny Young on vocals (“Lucky 7,” Vol. III). Also happened to be my (@madamestbeatrice.bsky.social) birthday show — Nov 6, 2010 @ Party Expo, Brooklyn.

Paul Bakija has entrusted me with carrying forward the Reagan Youth legacy by maintaining the band’s socials, sharing its message, and being the voice on Volume III. I can’t shy away from this responsibility; I have to speak up @madamestbeatrice.bsky.social youtu.be/mDoeRLfEk-M?...

🚨PSA: REAGAN YOUTH MUSIC IS STILL AVAILABLE ON ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS🚨

Not sure if this zine’s been mentioned, but Paul Cripple gave what’s believed to be his final (and very brief) interview in ‘Down the Punk Rock Highway’ by Jared Forman. Just search the title if you want a copy, it’s that easy. — @madamestbeatrice.bsky.social

Remembering Paul ‘Cripple’ Bakija March 19, 1964 - September 21, 2024 🥀

Just recently, an old friend sent me this photo of Paul posing next to what looks like a sticker on a windshield that says “I really miss Reagan.” With Paul’s death anniversary coming up in a few days it’s appropriate to say that I really miss Paul.

Today we celebrate Dave Insurgent’s life & times. September 5, 1964 - July 3, 1993 🥀 📷: Amie Hertzig #ReaganYouth #DaveInsurgent

Before Paul Cripple transitioned into another dimension, there was an urgency to release one final Reagan Youth album, Volume III: Life & Times Revisited, dedicated to his best friend and bandmate Dave Insurgent.

It’s going to take some time but I know many of you will appreciate it. Subscribe to Reagan Youth’s Substack NOW: open.substack.com/pub/reaganyo... - @madamestbeatrice.bsky.social 5/5 🧵

A Beautiful post was made by bass playa (2011-2023) @tibbie666x.bsky.social about our dearly beloved mentor, co-founder of Reagan Youth, songwriter, intellectual, guitar man, @paulbakija and I figured I should share it on here. Please read 🙏🏽🖤 - @madamestbeatrice.bsky.social

We’re under a Trump administration while his so called opps, the Democrats, are nowhere to be found to “fight back.”

Rest in power Colin Jerwood of #CONFLICT 🥀 🏴

Reminder: we’ve (MADAME ST. BEATRICE) got some shows this May. Friday, May 9th @ T’s Kitchen & Rock Klub in Stamford, CT & Saturday, May 17th @ Our Wicked Lady Brooklyn, NY 🎸

The more I learn about Ibrahim Traore the more giddy I get. The western imperialism has caused so much pain and suffering in the African continent /1

Going through old files and I believe this photo never made it on the web. It’s supposedly “HOLY WEEK” and it is tradition to bring up the holy man himself, Jesus, and Dave Insurgent on the Reagan Youth socials. 📷: (?) | CBGBS NY, NY, early 80s

Because I’m a sucker for pop culture I watched some Coachella.

I will forever refer social media as the crack of our era. If you’re well aware how crack effected communities and how it was funded & fueled by the U.S. gov’t, you should fully understand this reference.

It’s difficult to use this account when there’s no one who interacts with me 🥹

Looks like Reagan Youth’s song ‘Necrophilia’ is valid after learning about this sick story. Be well out there folks. “Life & Times Revisited” VOLUME Ill is out now 🔗: orcd.co/reaganyouth_...

Huge shout out to Inspite Magazine for the review & giving “Life & Times Revisted” Volume III a chance. www.inspitemagazine.com/in-spite-art...

This interview was sent from a friend. It was ripped out of a 1981 zine that I wish I could give credit to. Anyhow, took the time to transcribe it so it’s easier to read.

Huge shout out to CRYPTIC ROCK for writing a review for Reagan Youth’s Volume III “Life & Times Revisited” album. Really appreciate it! crypticrock.com/reagan-youth... ⛓️‍💥VOLUME III IS OUT NOW

Members of the proud boys showing up at punk shows is a big no no. Want to make that blatantly clear.

March 19, 2025 was Paul Bakija’s 61st birthday and a beautiful post was made by @punkrock_cookbook on Instagram - @madamestbeatrice.bsky.social ⛓️‍💥: www.instagram.com/p/DHZv5x7MGR...

So you mean to tell me out of all the ol' punk rock/hardcore bands out there that's still active Dropkick Murphys are the loudest about this country's fascist government 😬

Thoughtless, mean comments should not have any effect on you. The older I get the more I care less for them. If there’s no constructive criticism nor an elaboration on why you don’t appease someone you could easily go about your day or you could respond with sacrasm for fun.

When I do have the time and day I have no problem responding to hateful comments. By the end of the day all inputs are appreciated and valid. Trust me!

Love to give a BIG SHOUTOUT to TWON WOOD for the album artwork. Thank you for understanding the concept of making things look real ol’ skul a.k.a. 80s.

Bar Freda was so much fun!

VOLUME III “LIFE & TIMES REVISITED” IS NOW AVAILABLE ⛓️‍💥

This is for the fans, music lovers and haters alike. Peace, love & anarchy ! youtu.be/445EK8z0EXE?...

I’ve always made sure to preserve so many recordings over the years of Paul just jammin’ to these songs that’s on RY’s forthcoming album. This is Paul Cripple demonstrating ‘Hapless Misfits’ back in 2019. - @madamestbeatrice.bsky.social
