It would be easy to quickly hear a second of Iron Reagan and mistake it for related band Municipal Waste; MW's Tony and Land Phil both are on board and the band definitely have a similar mid-80s crossover thrash approach. Iron Reagan leans on the side of hardcore though, co-opting Leeway and Cro-Mags while avoiding much of the campiness that makes MW so over the top and fun. The band released their recent LP Worse Than Dead earlier this year via A389 Recordings/Magic Bullet Records.Keeping with the classic theme, in a new video for "Cycle of Violence" by Iron Reagan, the band rips through their classic crossover thrash on a wood panel television for a "video within a video" approach. The result is an over saturated look and a distinctly old school feel. Check it out, and look for them on the road this fall with Gwar and Power Trip/Mammoth Grinder.Tour Dates:10/02: Columbus, OH @ Newport Music Hall*10/03: Milwaukee, WI @ The Rave*10/04: Iowa City, IA @ Blue Moose Tap House*10/05: Minneapolis, MN @ First Avenue*10/06: Winnipeg, MB @ Garrick Centre*10/07: Saskatoon, SK @ Odeon Events Centre*10/08: Calgary, AB @ MacEwan Hall Ballroom*10/09: Edmonton, AB @ Union Hall*10/11: Seattle, WA @ Showbox SODO* 10/12: Boise, ID @ Knitting Factory Concert House*10/13: Spokane, WA @ Knitting Factory Concert House*10/14: Vancouver, BC @ Commodore Ballroom*10/15: Portland, OR @ Roseland Theater*10/16: Chico, CA @ Senator Theatre*10/17: Santa Ana, CA @ The Observatory*10/18: West Hollywood, CA @ House of Blues*10/19: Sacramento, CA @ Ace of Spades*10/20: San Francisco, CA @ The Regency Ballroom*10/22: Albuquerque, NM @ Sunshine Theater*10/24: Houston, TX @ Warehouse Live*10/26: Austin, TX @ Emo’s (Housecore Horror Film Fest)*10/28: Pensacola, FL @ Vinyl Music Hall*10/29: New Orleans, LA @ House of Blues*10/30: Atlanta, GA @ The Masquerade*10/31: Charlotte, NC @ Tremont Music Hall* 11/01: Asheville, NC @ The Orange Peel*11/02: Norfolk, VA @ The Norva*11/04: Ft.
