Awesome set tonight guys! I feel like I haven't seen you guys play in awhile. I always enjoy hearing Tony speak in between songs and bringing up issues that need to be addressed whether it is sexism or racism inside hardcore or things that should be given a second thought outside of hardcore.

guys. great show last night i really thought ur set was the best not only from the music but the lyrics and the meaning that are put behind it. honestly it really made me think. i bought ur album about a year ago i always listened to it but never really understood the meaning because i was just turned 14. but now since i experienced what it is like to lose everything and have nothing because now i really dont have anyone to care or anything. im just saying you guys are a great inspiration. thank you for being an awesome band and for spreading your way of thought.

you want me to check out your music? well let's make it official! me and the crew have a podcast strictly for underground artists. we'll play your song on our show for all of our listeners, and give our opinions and ideas on it. we'll read a bio for you so the world can get to know you a bit and we'll even shout out if you got a tour coming up or an album or ep dropping soon and let people know where to find you or where they can watch you perform. it's a critique show infused with comedy that will give you exposure and promo your projects. hit me back if you are interested.


.... oh yeah and did I mention IT'S FREE!!!

I think you guys are way underrated as a band. You have such a strong political message and such great tunes. You guys bring so much passion to the straight edge scene, it’s unbelievable. Definitely one of the best hardcore bands out there today. I can’t wait to see you guys in December at Haverhill.

I am glad to hear you guys have the lineup situation all squared away. With Have Heart's departure from Hardcore, I truly see you guys as the driving force of Straight Edge in Massachusetts. Can't wait to make it out to a show, it's been too long.
