Two bands from the Midwest have teamed up for a 6-song split EP by The Raging Nathans and The Reaganomics. Featuring three new songs from each group, the 7" will be a joint release between Rad Girlfriend Records and Red Scare Industries.

The Raging Nathans -- who are playing today at the livesteam event The Fest That Never Was -- released Oppositional Defiance earlier this year, and The Reaganomics released The Aging Punk at the end of 2019.

It’s not an even mix of all the ingredients, rather familiar fragments with a lot of unique twists and turns when … Read more

Oppositional Defiance
Rad Girlfriend Records (2020)

Boy do The Raging Nathans know how to start a record on a down note. The band plays melodic DIY pop-punk that’s of the verse-chorus-verse variety with driving rhythm to give it that extra oomph.
