Ha, to be honest I would probably do the same. Such a charismatic and inspirational guy. I’d love to see them, that will be awesome!! Maybe they will come to the UK aswell?

Yes, this thread should be alive and kicking hard!
For @Hailstrom, great straight edge UKHC (youth crew style) :INSIST

I’m really into the vegan straight edge hardcore too, I’ll post some if anyone is interested. It’s definitely more metal than hardcore. It sounds so angry, it heals chaos👊🏻
These guys are great, cheers. The youth crew style is my favourite, but I like anything really. And it doesn’t have to be edge, just good old hardcore is welcome too.
Vegan stuff is cool too (although I’m not vegan myself) , I like Earth Crisis, Ecostrike, XElegyX, a few others. Get em posted 
Might aswell start with a classic

Oh I clearly remember when this came out, game changer, we were like “WTF!!”
I saw them a few times live, always great.
Them and ARKANGEL forged the XVX sound 
I’m not vegan too, but vegetarian for 27 years

Nice. Yeah, Arkangel are great. From Belgium right? They would play a lot in the UK back in the day, saw them a few times.
Yep from Belgium. Not edge anymore after they met our french legends Kickback 
But all the xvx bands sound like arkangel, Slayeeeeer riffing 
Haha, Kickback are awesome! I still spin Cornered regularly

That’s awesome you mentioned Scott Vogal I did a double take! I used to play in a band and I played a show or two with him when he played in Slugfest. The band I played in was strong point.
Link below is a site with a bunch of old flyers. I went to a lot of these shows!

That’s so awesome man ! Great memories 
Those old flyers are great, they always are. Smell DIY so much, and that is what hardcore is all about

These days I’m stuck on this very angry band : CONTENTION
From florida! How can you be so angry while living in Florida 
That True detective sample is gold :
- What’s with the water?
- Booze tends to take the edge off. I wanna stay angry.

Another band with Have Heart’s Pat Flynn
Those lyrics
FREE: out of darkness
I’m so tired of waiting
And weighing me down
Into the swamps of sorrow,
Dark and alone
With no one to blame
But my own
Hands tied,
Mouth sewn,
Eyes shut,
Hope broke apart,
Like that fearless thing I used
To call my heart
Come out of darkness: light
No more sitting silent
In the dim dark
Shadows of self-doubt
No more bowing out
And down to fear
No more darkness
Out of darkness:
More
Light of love
Light of day
Light of hope
Light of rage
To stand,
Not kneel,
To the great weight of the dark
And tear it out
