Hardcore punk music with a positive message. All that and more in today's post about the seminal band Minor Threat and the Straight Edge movement that they began with the song of the same name...a movement that is still promoted by bands such as Rancid and Idles today. Enjoy :)

In My Eyes is Minor Threat's second expanded track, released on Dischord Records in December 1981, featuring 'Out Of Step', a track that has become the unofficial anthem of the straight edge movement
In memory, Raymond James “Raybeez” Barbieri, drummer of the New York hardcore punk band Agnostic Front, drummer and singer of Warzone, died today in 1997 from complications of pneumonia.
Usually, for #NowPlaying I'll post a link to just one song, but for Minor Threat I can post a link to two whole EPs, or 14 songs, safe in the knowledge that it'll only take you 19 minutes to enjoy it all.
Not tried this for a while - I'm looking for other #StraightEdge people on here, particularly if you're non-white / queer / not the average cishet hxc scene bro.
