Naked Raygun - Understand?

Naked Raygun - Understand?, 1999 USA Quarterstick, 1999 (Re-mastered: Caroline, 1989) Punk (14tracks, 39min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 81MB) Naked Raygun was a highly influential Chicago-based rock music group. Initially active from the early 1980s to about 1990, Naked Raygun had several short-lived reunions afterwards and a full-time reformation in 2006. From the beginning, their music had a strong sense of melody and songwriting, with Pezzati's lyrics often exploring working class issues. Naked Raygun began in the noise rock/hardcore punk styles, later branching out into more adventurous post hardcore. By their early '90s incarnation, Naked Raygun's melodic tendencies became more pronounced, with strong power pop leanings in the vein of Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers, and The Jam. Durango and Jeff Pezzati were also members of Big Black during the '80s. (NR Wiki) Download
