Straight edge/Hardcore thread

Ray Cappo from Youth of Today/Shelter interviewed by Joe Rogan. This is great, mostly a discussion on his life as a yogi, karma, ego, abstinence etc. Cool dude

Oh snap. I will be checking this out.

Also, Toby from H2O has a podcast, and he has interviewed a literal who’s who of NYHC history… if that’s your kinda thing. It’s called One Life One Chance.

Check out Racial Abuse - No Need

Very rare premium european straight edge political punk band.

Minor threat are the only other straight edge band i know.

I am such a hypocrit for loving both these bands haha

I can’t stress enough how important this music is to my recovery :fist:

I’ve worked so hard on things that never seemed to pay off
But looking back I realize that I never really meant that much

And if you’ve been let down
And if it’s not the first time
I’m sorry, and I know how it feels
When my eyes see a loser in the mirror
I think “what did I do?” sure I fucked up, but I got back up
So that loser shits out the window
And if you been let down, it might not be the last time
Cheer up, it will hurt much less tomorrow
We’re all tired of fucking up and that’s not just being sorry
It means brush the dirt off, get up and try again

When you’re sick of trying, how can you expect to succeed?
I can’t recall my first failure, and I’ll forget this one too over time

And if you’ve been let down, it might not be the last time
Cheer up, it will hurt much less tomorrow
We’re all tired of fucking up and that’s not just being sorry
It means brush the dirt off, get up and try again

Slave to habit, a bottle, a pill-what will you do?
DEMAND INDEPENDENCE

You’re losing your mind and you’re losing your will
Is that really you?
“Hey I’m just growing up, I’m just having fun”
You’re just on the run
You reach for excuses, but there are none
Should’ve never begun
Demand independence

NO WAY-won’t walk into that maze
NO WAY-watch the fire blaze
NO WAY-it’s just so damn cliched
So what will we do?

And these guys are great fun

Yes Ray Cappo is a true inspiration. I used to be a bit angry at him though :grin:
I explain
My best friend, like 25 years ago, went to live in NY for a year (we were obsessed by NYHC at that time), he met Cappo, and came back krishna, changed his life completely, tried to convert us, started to wear the traditional orange outfit, and disappeared from my life :grimacing:
Anyway I’m supposed to see YOT at hellfest next june in france. Can’t wait to break one or two of my ribs
