umbling in the midst of a hot summers night i come across a horrific sign “Closed for Renovations”, what the hell?. Has the only sacred ground fallen to the demise of the monopoly of congolmerates that is upstairs?. Why has the domain of expressive revelation of the subculture it represented finally fallen to the almighty dollar? Is it the evoloution of the industry and demand of logistics of the fallen punk rock scene in the hammer? Or has a new force taken the reigns and given it hell, bringing in some new newly needed sound?.
“The scene has evolved into different genres of punk rock. Rising from the ashes and tattered dreams is a new prospect in hopes of bringing it back to perspective.”
N
ilo Grabar of Symphony Of Sound is no stranger to making it work with the remnants of a great venue. Mixing a line up of local talent with gigs, he hopes the regulars will see It’s the same old place minus the cramped up clutter. The underground has been under quarantine and scrubbed down of its years of many tours and promoters that passed through it’s doors.
“Asuring a solid format of keeping shows in the mix with a unity of genres and bookings to come.
A
revamp of sound and space with more viewing pleasure the underground takes it from the seeds of oldschool to a shaved down clean cut. But one has to admit, wasn’t that what we loved about it?

DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR
D
ARTICLE/JIM SMITH
eath Before Dishonor has climbed up the ladder of the hardcore industry with awakening solid anthems, hard deep crunchy rhythms and chest beating drum rolls. They debuted with the self produced “WARTIME” E.P /2002 and followed up with “TRUE TIL DEATH” on SPOOK CITY RECORDS. It wasn’t until a ruthless tour and reissue of TRUE TILL DEATH 2004 did BRIDGE NINE RECORDS gain interests of this rising force. Their first L.P for B9 “FRIENDS FAMILY FOREVER” 2005 was followed up with touring and making two 7 inch limited releases “SPLIT/BLACK FRIDAY” and “BREAK THROUGH IT ALL”. The newly restructured D.B.D was given the opportunity to record with Boston’s legendary long time producer JIM SIEGEL(Blood for Blood,DropKick Murphys) for “COUNT ME IN”2007. Jim worked his years of expertise to refine “COUNTME IN” - by far one of the best L.Ps of the year. On tour with MADBALL/SICK OF IT ALL/WISDOM IN CHAINS “WITHIN” catches up with BRYAN HARRIS after the set to ask a few questions.

Well I started out in the 90’s with the Boston Scene but a lot of my favorite bands are New York so both.

BRIAN HARRIS SPEAKS OUT What inspired you in your are other people going through own life to turn to hardcore? the same shit they are in everyday life.And musically we give regular Jr High BRiaN Well music for kids to move to. school life wasn’t what I was into, i went to a hardcore show and felt at home. It was a place for me to release my aggressions that I had going on in my life and I felt like i fit in. What kind of Motivation are you looking to give in this release?.
BRiaN
I just hope our lyrics help kids feel like there
If you could make a difference, “would you try” or leave it up to them to figure out?
I think when someone figures out how to make a difference in their own lives it makes them stronger. So I guess I would leave it up to themselves to figure it out.

Any favorite books?

FRANKIE “Everyone should feel and be equal right?.” WITHIN MAGAZINE Thanks Brian for Helping us out in making it happen, keepin the hardcore and punk scene alive.
Most definitely there’s a real problem with the facist misconcieving what the hardcore scene is all about and misinterpeting what we’re all saying. There’s a lot of bands that they’re mistaking the meaning for no doubt about it.

f you were back pedaling the eschelon of Strategic Defence during the era preceding the Cold War, you might stumble across a tattered dusty file labelled “Code Name After Math”. Then again maybe it’s nothing more than a good old grassy knoll theory ,with a cliffhanger for a ending. Is the research into the global effects of ultra violet radiation from cosmic rays truly open to public inquiry?. Or has Washington’s top brass finally decide the files are no longer a concern to public safety or a topic of National Scurity ?. What if Dar win had it right all along “in order for a species to survive it must adapt to it’s enviroment”. Is the “Iron Age” of modern civilization truly to blame for the disentegration of natural cycles? Within the time frame of the end of the pacific conquest and the era of the iron curtain, several nations divide scientific research to a trial by error statis quo. Thus dawning the age of Thermo Nuclear Detonation casuing ionization of the atmossphere and stratosphere. Explosions above the Earth’s atmosphere can be captured by the Earth’s magnetic field, temporarily creating radiation belts. An explosive nuclear reaction takes place in less than a millisecond, during which time the bomb material is heated to over six million degrees Kelvin, greater than the temperature of our Sun’s photosphere. This leads to a unique three – stage release of energy. Changes in trace stratospheric gases can result for detonations in the atmosphere if the fireball rises into the stratosphere. In this case, the high temperatures of the fireball destroy ozone and create various oxides of nitrogen. For large numbers (hundreds or thousands) of high yield detonations, these changes can exceed natural variations. Such depletion of ozone would increase solar ultraviolet reaching the Earth’s surface. Ionized particles are channeled towards the Earth’s poles, which is why we see the beautiful auroras
A portion of the radiation is forced into the stratosphere, and is then distributed randomly by the upper atmosphere circulation. at the highest latitudes often occuring at the northern hemispheres. Thus the pull of the earths magentic polarity draws the ionization towards the polar ice caps. Since atomic testing there has been 2,056 thermonuclear detonations of which 549 tests have been atmospheric over the course of 60 years. After the intial manhattan project the cold war tests seemed to gain more and prompt radiation which includes neutron radiation and gamma radiation released in the first few seconds of the detonation. These radiations are absorbed by the atmosphere, especially so with the larger bombs. A portion of the radiation is forced into the stratosphere, and is then distributed randomly by the upper atmosphere circulation. While its descent to earth seldom produces acute radiation poisoning, a number of radioactive elements created by a nuclear explosion are absorbed by living organisms and accumulate up the food chain, and thus inevitably concentrating in human food. Could this scenario be why so many live stock are tainted each year periodically by unknown diseases occuring from grazing patterns?. What does happen to polar regions when ionization of the atmoshpere occurs? Was the military really doing cold war defense training in the polar caps or was it a study to trace the effects of a collapsed ozone shield due to ionization and build up of stratospehric gases? All in the name of Justice and Liberty shall we open Pandora’s Box and feel the wrath that lies within.
