Reagan Squad - Golden Mile

Review by Đất Xanh Miền Tây

Golden Mile by Reagan Squad: A Punk Rock Gem from '98 That Still Kicks Alright, so let me tell ya about Golden Mile by Reagan Squad. If you’re into raw, punchy punk rock with just enough grit to keep things real, this one’s worth a spin. Released back in '98 on A-F Records (shoutout to the label for keeping it legit), this album doesn’t mess around. It’s got that classic US punk vibe—fast riffs, pissed-off vocals, and lyrics that make you wanna scream along while questioning your life choices. First off, big ups to the crew behind this beast: Dan-Dan on vocals bringing the angst, Andy Wheeler shredding guitar like his life depends on it, Kevin pounding drums like he's running out of time, and Dan D Lion holding down bass duties. Oh, and props to Subha Das for producing this chaos into something cohesive. These guys weren’t trying to reinvent the wheel—they were too busy smashing it. Now, onto the tracks. I gotta shout out “Mindless Violence” because damn, it hits hard right outta the gate. The opening riff is sharp enough to cut glass, and Dan-Dan’s voice sounds like he’s been chewing gravel all week. Lyrically, it’s not exactly Shakespeare, but who cares? Sometimes mindless violence is what you need after a crap day at work. You know what I mean? Another standout track has to be “Generation Why.” This one sticks with me because it feels like they’re calling out my whole age group—and honestly, they’re not wrong. The energy here is relentless, and when Andy throws in those screeching guitar solos halfway through, it’s like a wake-up call you didn’t ask for but definitely needed. Plus, the chorus is stupidly catchy—if you don’t find yourself yelling “WHY?!” in random moments later, check your pulse. As for the rest of the album, it keeps the momentum going without overstaying its welcome. Tracks like “No Restraint” and “Off The Edge” deliver more high-octane punk goodness, while slower jams like “What Is Right?” show they can dial it back a bit without losing their edge. And hey, there’s even an unlisted bonus track hiding at the end if you’re patient enough to stick around. Punk purists might roll their eyes at that, but honestly, it’s kinda fun. Looking back, Golden Mile isn’t perfect. Some of the production is a little rough around the edges, and yeah, some songs blur together if you’re not paying attention. But honestly, that’s part of its charm. It’s real, unfiltered, and straight from the heart—or maybe the gut. Final thought? Listening to this album makes me wonder how many bands today could pull off something this raw without overthinking it. Maybe we’d all be better off if more people just cranked up the distortion and let loose. Or maybe I’m just nostalgic for the days when punk wasn’t trying to be cool. Either way, crank this sucker loud and see where it takes you.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a cool fact: The album *Golden Mile* by Reagan Squad is packed with raw punk energy and was released in 1998 under A-F Records. What makes it special? The track "(Unlisted Bonus Track)" isn’t even named—like a hidden gem for fans to discover. Plus, the band had Subha Das as their producer, which is pretty unique since producers from different musical backgrounds can bring an unexpected edge to punk rock. It’s wild how this album blends chaos and meaning across its 13 tracks.
