Information About

Vegan Reich




The group was led by vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter . In 1990, Vegan Reich--now comprised of Muttaqi and drummer Jon Ewing --formulated an ideology called The Hardline Movement and released a 7" by the same name through Hardline Records . The pair was assisted by Sergio, then-bassist for Southern California punk band Amenity , until Dom Ehling joined up in 1991 and shortly after, Florida native Ray Titus relocated to Laguna Beach, CA, to replace Ewing. In 1992, that lineup released a Cassette Tape -only EP , ''The Wrath of God'', that was as heavily influenced by Iron Maiden as the previous release was inspired by Crass .

The band went on hiatus after that, with the lineup first morphing into the reggae-tinged Captive Nation Rising , and later the back-to-basics punk band Pressure . In 1996, Uprising Records compiled all of Vegan Reich's material and released it as the ''Anthology'' CD. Vegan Reich reconvened briefly in 1999 with Muttaqi playing guitar and bass and singing on a new EP, "Jihad", backed by Racetraitor (and future Fall Out Boy ) drummer Andy Hurley .
