First I have to apologize for the lack of posting lately. I went on vacation and pulled my back. It's been downright painful to sit down.
This is a compilation of straight-edge hardcore bands that didn't (and still don't) have the "typical" straight-edge moshcore or youth crew sound popularized by bands like Earth Crisis and Youth of Today. I remember hearing about this compilation and waiting desperately for its release. Being straight edge was never terribly important to me, but for some reason it was vital for me to know that being straight-edge didn't have to mean being a violent, hardline, jock.
The liner notes, written by Ebullition/HeartattaCk founder Kent McClard, talk similarly about straight-edge. It's not about belonging to a crew or regurgitating breakdowns, but rather it's a choice a person can make that will affect other choices in their life.
Musically, Some Ideas are Poisonous has some of the best bands of the day. Monster X, Portraits of Past, Policy of 3, Groundwork, Pogrom, Threadbare, Shatter The Myth, Endeavor, None Left Standing, Trees Without Leaves, Prozac Memory, Via, Well Away, and Frail.
