When Hatebreed were coming up, in 1996 when they released their first EP, they weren't exactly a straight edge band, but some of them were, I think Jamey is, but back then shit was violent in the 90's, not all the time, usually the thugs are made fun of by the bands these days so even a Sick Of It All show where Lou Koller will pick on you with minimal security, he's got such a sense of humour that he's gonna make the crowd laugh at them. I'm so glad Earth Crisis even if they predictably reunited don't push that Hardline straight edge shit that didn't make much sense to start with. Also they only had one good song, ever, Firestorm, and the lyrics to them are horrible, so Propagandhi recorded a B-Side called Firestorm, My Ass, because they are also vegans but far from edge, Chris was drunk during the whole 90's (with vegan beer as much as possible), then with spirits because they're all pretty much vegan. He stopped drinking like a Canadian (which he is) around 2005 when that Potemkin City Limits album was so awesome put Propagandhi into the best melodic hardcore punk band period, even Bill Stevenson (drummer of Black Flag, Descendents, ALL) in a fun youtube video says so. But we're kinda offtopic now.
Oh read the stories Jamey Jasta has on their early 95-2001 period in New Haven, the sxe kids were not to mess with then, they'd punch people in the stomach for smoking outside the venue and such. He doesn't condone it, he just made a large article about this, I can't remember where, but one guitarist from Hatebreed who's now dead whom they called the Mad Dog, they were all jocks using testosterone if not sxe, and they protected their scene and shit from violence and drug dealing at their venues. They even managed to convince clubs not to sell alcohol since they wouldn't do the X on your hand thing so it could be all ages show still.
