I have found this interview at a forum xCatalystx. Obviously, it is taken about 2008. I was a little slewed with wrangle between Rat (Statement) and Steve (Raid) which has followed more low, and I have decided to translate actually interview. In spite of the fact that Steve lose practically everything, and its sights from the radical have outgrown in moderated, nevertheless, I consider that the given interview is worthy perusals. At least because in а best time Raid became the catalyst for promotion the vegan straight edge movements along with Vegan Reich and Statemenet, musically leaving them behind. And blast wave Earth Crisis has begun with them.
xYosefx: How and when did you first get into hardcore and straight edge?
Steve: I first got I first got into hardcore sometime back in '83 or '84. Before hardcore I was into to metal like Sabbath, AC/DC and Judas Priest. I was really into music and read all the metal magazines, but metal was starting to get mainstream. The big hair glam metal style was starting right around the time I heard hardcore. Their was such a difference between the two forms of music. I remember getting into arguments with other metal heads about which form of music was better. Hardcore dropped all the b.s. and played fast, hard music with meaningful lyrics. The first record I bought was Black Flag, Everything Went Black. I was hooked. I devoured all forms of hardcore/punk music and eventually started distributing Maximum Rocknroll to kids at schools, shows and even had a consignment at some record stores.
