Understand?, the fourth studio album from Chicago's Naked Raygun, came out on Caroline Records in 1989, the better part of a decade into a run that began in the city in 1980. By now the band had taken the lessons of their British heroes, Buzzcocks, Wire, the Stranglers, the Ruts and the Jam among them, and hammered them into a post-hardcore punk rock all their own: tough, tuneful and made for a sweaty room to bellow back at the stage.
It isn't all fists in the air, either. "Hip Swingin'" takes aim at America's habit of meddling in the affairs of South American countries, proof that the shout-along choruses could carry a message as well as a melody.
