3 MINS READ
It is 2022, and the world is in chaos. A mere three years ago, all of our lives were radically different. It seems that over the past two years, everyone has experienced a heartbreak, a disconnection and a loss.
For the first time, people you know and don’t know, around the world, have experienced a related and collective trauma. It is hard when everyone is suffering in one way or another. It seems like everyone is fighting one or another. It would be much better if we were all much nicer to each other, and as you know, that is not how things have been going.
This blog is for the people out there who know what pain and hurt and loneliness feels like and for all our friends, families, supporters and loved ones. I could not write a proper record review to save my life, but this ain’t a record review; this is about the true spirit, energy, and power of hardcore punk music. To all those reading these words, listen, we need each other, more now than ever. So while the words below may mean very little to you, when you listen to TREE’s “A Lot to Fear” masterpiece, try to remember the way you felt as a kid, going to a punk show and feeling alive, free, safe and a part of something.
