I was talking to Pete Lynch about this the other day. He kept raving and raving about how good this album is and how eccentric the “influence list” was. He wasn’t wrong. He was right. This album pulls a little from many bands. Take some Leeway, a little Biohazard, some Floorpunch, sprinkle in some mysticism …

Back in 2003, I got a demo from Europe. It was from a band called Something Inside. I was a little taken back by what I heard. At the time, I called it a mix of Floorpunch and American Nightmare. This new EP breaks that mold. This EP is still 100% hardcore, but it feels …
HYE – Yo, how’s your edge? JC – Good. It says hi!! HYE – When did you fully realize what straight edge was? And what does it mean to you now? What role has your big brother Jesse played in this? Finally, how does it feel to be the last NASE (North Andover Straight Edge) …
HYE – Yo, how’s your edge? RF – I’d say it is doing very well. HYE – How did it all start for you? Where did you first learn about hardcore? RF – Well I didn’t really have much interest in music until I was 8 or 9 (80-81) at which time I started to …

Here it is folks. Possibly the only NY Wolfpack interview ever recorded. This interview literally needs no introduction, but I should get some editor notes in there just so I can look professional. If you’ve never heard of Steve Reddy or EVR, you should hang up your boots immediately. Even if you know the Steve …
Yeah, mission accomplished. Keep that in mind the next time you hear some damn hippy talking about the War in Iraq. There is no war. We clearly accomplished our mission two and a half years ago. … Sigh.
Um, what can I say here? This CD isn’t really something I would ever pick up. Actually, someone stuffed it into a package I won off of ebay. Not sure if it was the guy from Blood Money Records or someone from Lose None. Check their site for a couple of tracks and some pics. …

I recall seeing The Fire Still Burns play with Bold at their first reunion show circa early 2005. At the time, I was surely perplexed how this unknown band (at least to me) got on such a killer show. After watching their set and seeing the 6 kids who were really into it, I basically …

They’re young, smart, brash. They may wear flip-flops to the office or listen to iPods at their desk. They want to work, but they don’t want work to be their life. Read the rest in this article. Let me just say, this article speaks to me. Seriously, that has me written all over it. Well, …
A few things: 1. These dudes are from Fort Collins, CO. That’s where my boy Rod is living now. That dude is cool. And he says his city is rad. Lots of outdoorsy shit. That’s cool in my book. 2. The note that came with the EP is perfect. I will quote it exactly (spelling …
