BRIAN PETERSON

Burning Fight: The Nineties Hardcore Revolution In Ethics, Politics, Spirit, And Sound

Revelation Records Publishing

REVBKS03  - May 12, 2009

INFO:   Although some define hardcore as a specific sound, most believe it’s more than that; a set of varying ideas, ethics, principles, attitudes and, yes, music, that converge to form a community. “Burning Fight: The Nineties Hardcore Revolution In Ethics, Politics, Spirit, And Sound” by Brian Peterson provides some answers, but also brings up a whole new set of questions for those who’ve been drawn to the scene’s political, social, ethical and spiritual ideas amidst the screamed vocals and abrasive chords. “Burning Fight” features commentary from approximately 150 people involved in the nineties hardcore scene as well as oral history articles about straight edge, politics, vegetarianism and interviews with a variety of influential bands such as: Avail, Burn, Earth Crisis, Inside Out, Integrity, Los Crudos, Spitboy, Strife, Texas Is The Reason, Unbroken and more. 503 pages.
