In this episode, we discuss Hardcore Punk music. We talk about both the good and the bad of the HXC scene, skinheads and the unwanted, unwelcomed, attachment of fascists and white racists to the scene, and things that have been done to remove that influence and fight against Nazi ideology for 40 years among American Punks and Skins.
We also play lots of music to mosh to.
