| | TrouserPress.com :: Naked Raygun |
 | | Chicago's Naked Raygun was one of the encouraging new punk bands that bloomed in the Midwest long after thrash had apparently isolated the punk aesthetic in its own circumscribed ghetto, where it would never again challenge the musical values of regular folk. | | | All of the 1999 Quarterstick Raygun reissues include bonus tracks. | | | Naked Raygun (like most of the other bands mentioned) had an unabashed love for the naïve arty experimentation of Wire and the Buzzcocks. |

| | NAKED RAYGUN transgressed the confines of punk rock with a sly swagger. | | | Absolutely amazing, better than studio quality, 16 track digital recording of one of the most influential and greatest live punk bands ever. | | | It would not be a stretch to label NAKED RAYGUN the most important band to make their way from the greater Chicagoland area. |

| | Raygun...Naked Raygun, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic |
| | The musicianship on the album is steady, and the songs are solid, some even catchy, but the spirit, challenge, and unique politics of the music is gone, and that is why Raygun.. | | | The band's intentions are good, and if Haggerty would've played on the songs instead of Bill Stephens, the record probably would have worked on the level it should, but instead, we hear mostly straightforward songs that are notable for their similarity to music from early Nineties heavy metal bands (Megadeth and Anthrax especially). | | | Aside from the spiraling and screaming "Home" the call-and-response style of "Fever Island," and war-cry of "The Grind," Naked Raygun seem bored, or at least, comfortable with generic rhythmic structures and non-specific vocal deliveries. |

| | VH1.com : Naked Raygun : Biography |
| | Along with Hüsker Dü, Naked Raygun was one of the first U.S. post-punk bands of the early '80s that | | | After the group's split, Haggerty reappeared as a member of Pegboy (which also included former members of Bloodsport, the Effigies, and Bhopal Stiffs) and issued three releases during the '90s, while Pezzati appeared to have disappeared from the planet, before suddenly popping up again in the late '90s with a punk trio called the Bomb. | | | Formed during 1981 in Chicago, IL (and largely influenced by such art-punkers as Wire and Gang of Four), the group contained several different members during its ten-year career, including leaders Jeff Pezzati (vocals), John Haggerty (guitar), Marko Pezzati (bass), Jim Colao (drums), and, early on, future Big Black member Santiago Durango (guitar). |

| | And then, in 1999, Quarterstick reissued Naked Raygun's five full-length albums, reintroducing them to old fans, and exposing young punks to one of the genre's seminal bands. | | | Haggerty left to form Pegboy before the band recorded Raygun Naked Raygun, their last studio album. | | | When people talk about Naked Raygun, it is always in awed tones that recall the band's life-changing effect. |

| | Naked Raygun played their music with the most celebratory passion ever displayed by a punk band, before or since and they showed it both live and in the studio with equally convincing results. | | | Echoes of Naked Raygun are quite audible in guitarist James Haggarty's Raygun offshoot band, Pegboy, and another Chicago group, The Bollweevils, often preformed Naked Raygun tribute sets. | | | With the departure of Haggerty, Raygun carried on for another album with new guitarist Bill Stephens, which really didn't differ too much aesthetically from their previous output, yet definitely lacked the songs and alluring charm. |

| | Naked Raygun is widely recognized as being one of the most influential punk bands of the 80’s. | | | During their eleven-year career, they released six albums that would change the sound of punk rock indefinitely. | | | Shortly after their first release, Basement Screams Durango left to join Big Black permanetly, and was replaced by John Haggerty, who’s unique style of buzzsaw guitar would define Raygun’s sound for their next four albums. |

| | Back in the mid-eighties, Naked Raygun were a force to be reckoned with, and they're on my short list of bands that really deserve to reap the commercial benefits of the musical roads they paved. | | | Four "new" tracks -- re-recorded versions of songs "lost" in the early nineties -- see Naked Raygun taking their place beside Husker Du as purveyors of mature, intelligent power-punk. | | | There's even a handful of songs written by, and featuring, the amazing Santiago Durango -- the man responsible for Naked Raygun's sound. |

| | Naked Raygun: Basement Screams EP/ Throb, Throb/ All Rise/ Jettison/ Understand?/ Raygun... Naked Raygun: Pitchfork ... |
| | But with any Naked Raygun album, expect the the ass- kick quotient to be fairly high. | | | This is stuff that was originally released back when "the Chicago Sound" was characterized by its loud, bruising guitars rather than the improvisational pussyfooting of Tortoise, the smarty- pants ethic of the Thrill Jockey/ Drag City crowds, and all those other bespectacled perpetual students- turned- indie- rock illuminati. | | | There's the sophisticated jazz- punk anti- sex anthem of "Libido" off of 1984's Throb Throb, reminding everyone of what was, for a short time, a major tenant of the punk rock ethic: to shun and belittle the sexual act. |

| | As I was pulling back into the city I had almost finished listening to the entire Naked Raygun catalog recently re-releasd on Quarterstick records. | | | I was stoked to see an ad in a minor national publication for the Raygun re-releases, and even more stoked to find out that "Basement Screams" was finally being made available, and every cd would have previously unreleased tracks. | | | If you grew up a midwestern punk in the 80's you eventually made a pilgrimage to see Naked Raygun. |

| | If you didn't like anything about the music of the early to mid 70's you also *owe* it to yourself to see Redd Kross, cause it's the freshest and best perspective you'll ever see on that sh*t and it's got everything the music of the early to mid 70's didn't have. | | | Fluid is derivative of all the good music of the last 10 to 12 years, and done very well, tho there's nothing terribly new about them or fresh about them. | | | Rein Sanction appears as Fluid in the NAKED RAYGUN/REDD KROSS message. |
