Reagan National Crash Diet – Sucktastic! Double 7″

Reagan National Crash Diet’s Suctastic! CD includes all five songs from the original double 7” of the same name plus a remixed version of the band’s first single “White Man” as well as live versions of “DNA” and “Anomaly” which were recorded at the Fireside Bowl in December of 2001.

PUNK PLANET
The much needed CD reissue of the already classic double 7″ inch from this wacky, sloppy Chicago-area band with dual male/female vocals… totally wild.

CHICAGO READER
Listening to Sucktastic!, I sometimes get the impression they think they’re a pop-punk band. But at key moments they achieve a hairy, distorted chaos that’s far more exciting than the prefab stuff they seemingly aspire to.

AVERSION.COM
With dueling male/female vocals at its helm and guitars that crash wildly against one another, the band has the mentality, if not the gritty riffs and explosive rhythms of the legendary Los Angeles punk band. In reality, the allusions to X only tell half the tale of the Chicago band’s sound… RCND plays punk for the record collectors and anyone who’s grown out of their Epitaph-inspired angst. While it’s not as ostentatious as most of its flash-and-burn Californian counterparts, Reagan National Crash Diet makes up in intelligence what it lacks in immediacy.
