We're joined by one of the most influential frontmen in hardcore music history, the godfather of vegan straight edge: Karl Buechner of Earth Crisis, Path of Resistance and Freya.We were lucky enough to spend nearly three hours with Karl talking about his journey from being a young punk in Syracuse, to starting Earth Crisis and influencing countless people worldwide over the last 30+ years. An incredible chronological journey documenting the band's rise in the 90's, the controversies that followed, the people and bands that accepted and didn't accept them, his new venture as a sci-fi/fantasy author and MUCH more. Enjoy this incredible conversation with a key pillar of straight edge hardcore.
