This week we support your dry January and beyond with a heavy straight edge playlist that proves sober metal and hardcore punk can still pack a punch. Join us for a straight edge primer that starts with Minor Threat, SSD, Slapshot, Uniform Choice, Youth of Today, and Judge, and carries forward to the decimating clear-headed modern focus of bands like Year of the Knife, Eyeteeth, Kublai Khan, xWeaponx, No Cure and Temple Guard. Earth Crisis, Manliftingbanner, and Abhinanda also feature. Break down the walls… and know your Roots!
