Introducing PLAN X RECORDS, a new home for straight edge hardcore music. PX001 releases tonight at Midnight, on Edge Day, from a brand new band called ALIVE. I have been straight edge since I was 14 years old, and I’ve never thought twice, looked back, OR thought myself above or better than anyone. But what I do know is that in a world that teaches us to numb ourselves, straight edge taught me how to feel. In a culture that profits from our continuous destruction, it can be the ultimate weapon… Against apathy, against excess, and most importantly, against the slow surrender of the self. I have never understood the notion that we must poison our minds to escape our reality, we need only the strength to change it. There’s always a better way. Initiate Plan X.

One of the greatest breakdowns ever written… STRIFE - Blistered.

There is only one truth… Tomorrow on HardLore, we celebrate one of the best California hardcore bands of all time: STRIFE. Guitarist and co-founder Andrew Kline joins us to deep dive into the entire history of the torch bearing, genre-defining band that toured the world flying the flag for straight edge hardcore in the 90s.
