"Issa Diao isn’t just one of the brains behind OutVoice (which may or may not be the how this writer gets paid), he was also a member of trailblazing hardcore band Good Clean Fun. On the latest episode of The Hard Times Podcast, Issa regales Matt and Bill with stories from his vegan, straight edge glory days."

"Raised in the thick of LA’s most derisive wave of punk rock in the late ’70s, Shawn and his brother Mark implemented the D.I.Y. code of ethics when forming their band Youth Brigade and starting their label BYO Records. They also continue to use that approach to lead the Punk Rock Bowling and Music Festival for the past 21 years."

"Formed in 1990 by singer Kirsten Patches and guitarist Phil Suchomel among the breweries and cheese factories of Madison, Wisconsin, Naked Aggression's original purpose was to protest the first Gulf War. The band's debut record, 1993's Bitter Youth (Broken Rekids), was the first of three full-lengths containing N.A.'s ballistic onslaught of anger wrapped around barreling beats and screechy guitars[...]Naked Aggression dissolved in 1998, following Suchomel's death from chronic asthma complications. Patches spent five years in mourning but felt compelled to reform Naked Aggression in 2003 to rage against the Iraq war. And if the songs on the band's new Assassin Wanted EP are any indication, they've only gotten angrier."
