Keith is a guy you see at every show. You can’t recall where or when you first met him, but you then start to see him at every show you attend. Doesn’t matter what town or state, he’s probably there. He gives off this quiet guy vibe, but once the music kicks in, so does …

Andrew Kline is a good dude. He was in one of the foremost Straight Edge bands of the mid 90s (possibly just one small step behind Earth Crisis). He’s toured the US over and over, he’s toured the world. Now he owns a shop in Westlake Village, California. They sell some awesome items and host …

I remember meeting Owen for the first time (I think) at Youth Attack’s first show at WPI. That show sticks out a lot in my mind. First and foremost because Jeff was this young ass kid singing for Youth Attack with permanent marker drawings ALL over his person. Secondly, there was a dude absolutely losing …

I’ve followed the Hundreds for a few years now. Bobby’s down with core. I’ve seen pics of him and Pike hanging. Toby H2O and crew too. He probably even owns a HYE shirt if he looks through all those piles of free schwag. Their blogs have been jumping lately, and Yasi has really got back …
Chip is passionate about tshirts. He is also passionate about the mid 90s and all the straight edge, vegan bands that came along. His collection includes nearly every single Earth Crisis shirt as well as a plethora of dope Battery shirts. Sure, Battery isn’t vegan, but then again, neither is he! Don’t worry, the vegan …
Stefan Sonic has seen it and done that. He’s been collecting since before you were born. While I was collecting matchbox cars, he was collecting Misfits singles. His Cough/Cool was certainly more awesome than my 82 Trans Am miatchbox. He probably never played his Cough/Cool while singing Michael Jackson Beat It ,though. Maybe you’ll get …
Do you know Chucky Edge? I’m guessing you do. Chucky is one of those dudes that EVERY person knows. In fact, if you asked me how I met Chucky, I couldn’t tell you definitely. It was like one day, this dude showed up to mosh and it was like he had always been there, like …

Back in October of 2006, I was lucky enough to get to hang in California with Bane. They were doing a US tour with 3 other excellent bands: A Global Threat, Strike Anywhere and This Is Hell. Personally, I had never really noticed This Is Hell. Sure, I had heard the name before, but I …

What can be said about Matt Wilson that you do NOT know? A lot, I’m sure. And this interview aims to answer some of those questions. Unfortunately, his association with the venerable Pete Lynch is never brought up. Sad but true. The next time you see Matt out and about, or on tour with Set …

Toby H2O, Toby Hazen St, Toby1, Toby SEOG … He goes by many names, but his message is universally themed: true till death, don’t forget your roots, drug free youth, young til I die, … Cliche phrases to some, but for Toby, hardcore is a way of life. Check this interview for a snapshot into …
