Welcome to the community!
Tagging @Hailstrom in case he can make any recommendations.

I know a few yeah. If you haven’t heard them already try Harms Way, xbishopx, Trapped Under Ice, Knocked Loose and True Love. All really good. I’m more a fan of the older 80s and 90s bands myself tho

SES4LIFE · January 18, 2020, 5:20pm

Thx I’ll try them out.

Its a subgenre of hardcore punk whose bands and fans typically follow an abstinent lifestyle. It started with Minor Threat in the 80s and other bands like Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits and Chain of Strength followed.

I would say so yeah.

Hailstrom · January 18, 2020, 6:25pm

I was, but just because I liked the music. I certainly didn’t follow the lifestyle

Toby from H20 was talking about it on his podcast. I think all the dates are overseas, but I could be wrong.

LEEJR · January 19, 2020, 2:23am

Sweet! I jut checked, there’s one show March 27 in S.F., but I’m seeing Tiger Army in Santa Barbara that night.

i remember going to a straight edge punk show in oakland about 15 years ago and thought it was soooo weird that all these young people (my age) were not ‘getting fucked up’ with alcohol and weed.
