TAGGED:
Today is a great day for new releases! First I told you about Peaches' new album, I Feel Cream, and now I want to let you know that one of my favorite bands of all time, Earth Crisis' new album, To the Death is out today on Century Media.
As soon as I got into hardcore, I couldn't help but be drawn to Earth Crisis' music. With brutal lyrics showcasing their feelings on veganism, straight edge, and political issues—Earth Crisis has always been a breath of fresh air for me in the music scene. Always keeping close ties to the Animal Rights community, they even had peta2's "Meat is Murder" stickers placed in the first 13,000 copies of the new album! Recently, singer Karl Buechner sat down for an interview with peta2. If you want to check out what Earth Crisis is all about, watch it below ...
If you like what you hear (and how can you not?!), make sure you pick up a copy of To the Death out today on Century Media. Even better? We have a chance to win a copy (along with a really awesome t-shirt) here. You can also check out their new print ad for peta2!
Try not to mosh too hard.

Some Of The Coolest Kids In The World March 24, 2008

And even before that in high school and college, I spent years tabling shows in NJ and NY at all sorts of venues from little halls with a few dozen people per show (with bands like Shadows Fall and Thursday as they were coming up) to larger festivals (like Warped Tour in the late 90s). The thing that's always been most exciting for me is that I got to meet inspiring people everywhere who care about doing something positive for the world.
I recently got a chance to check out some shows tabling for peta2 and wanted to share some photos. The first was the Taste of Chaos tour in Philly. It was awesome and people were really into the Fur Is Dead campaign. It was crazy to see Avenged Sevenfold with a huge setup for the show including pyotechnics and all. One of the first tours I did for peta2 was A7X opening for Rise Against in 2003 to crowds of maybe one hundred people. So this was definitely a step up for them.
Check out Rebecca and Caitie showing off their shirts at the peta2 table.
Then last week, I went to check out Earth Crisis and Shai Hulud! These are among the most influential and well-respected hardcore bands on the face of the planet, and Karl from Earth Crisis also handles vocal duties for Freya. Many of you have no doubt seen the amazing anti-animal testing video for Struggle To Survive from Freya, too. Here are some pics from that.
We had a slightly misprinted petition sheet around so we let Matt Fletcher of Shai Hulud use one for his band's setlist.

Awesome Richmond vegan straight edge kids and their XVX shirts!
A closer look at those shirts.
So overall, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone I've ever met on the road. And please do stay in touch with any peta2 staffers you ever meet at protests, shows, or anywhere else. We all love hearing about all that you do, and hopefully the feeling is mutual. Send us your Street Team feedback, photos, videos, and always feel free just to say hello.
