Check Out The Iron Reagan Demo!

by | Jan 18, 2012 | MUSIC

Hey everybody, there’s a brand new hardcore/metal supergroup in town! On the heels of their departure from Darkest Hour, Paul Burnette and Ryan Parrish have joined forces with Tony Foresta and Phil Hall of Municipal Waste to form Iron Reagan. They’ve got a demo up on Bandcamp now for your listening pleasure, and if you dig the other bands these guys have played with, you’re sure to enjoy it. The songs are short, fast, and straightforward, mixing speedy hardcore riffing with thick metal distortion to create a modern update on the mid-80s crossover sound of Dealing With It-era D.R.I. So what are you waiting for? Cop it now!

And once you’ve fallen in love with the demo, clear up your schedule for this weekend, because Iron Reagan will be playing their first show at Strange Matter on Sunday, January 22, with Weekend Nachos, Full Of Hell, Street Pizza, and Abyss. Even if you managed to score tickets to the Lamb Of God/Kepone show at the National before it sold out, you can still catch Iron Reagan at Strange Matter before heading down there, since the Strange Matter show starts at 6 PM. See you there!
