10 Straight Edge Hidden Gems for Edge Day 2019
Edge Day 2019 is here with a plenty of new bands repping the drug free way of life
Well, friends… we’ve made it to another year celebrating radical sobriety and a positive way of living in a world that we’re trying to make less fucked up by our active participation every single day!
Edge Day began back in 1999, at the final Ten Yard Fight show in Boston where they shared the stage with other straight edge bands that were heavily influential in the States at the time.
Personally, I don’t care much about most of the bands that played at that first Edge Day show in Boston, and it came out eventually that there have been some problematic band members among them, but anyway… since then, Edge Day has become a much bigger, and a widely spread phenomena around the world. And we’re still calling out and fighting shitty behavior among our ranks.
For me, Edge Day is great opportunity to remind ourselves about all the benefits of being sober for all the right reasons and celebrating being a part of the worldwide hardcore punk community at the same time!
And know what? This year marks my ten year Straight Edge anniversary! So Happy Edge Day to me!
I’m not going to explain about all the personal, political or whatever reasons to choose this way of life, but rather share some fresh, inspiring and ultimately sober-living bands that I’ve found recently. It’s kind of a continuation to my previous roundup on straight edge in 2019. So here we go again!
