My Fox Boston looks at Straight Edge

The Boston-based Fox affiliate has put together a fairly thoughtful and non-reactionary look at the significant straight edge scene in the city. The articles talks to Bridge Nine Records owner Chris Wrenn, Have Heart vocalist Patrick Flynn and In My Eyes vocalist Pete Maher. The article acknowledges some of the more violent tendencies in the scene, but avoids the kind of fear-mongering that has typified coverage of the scene.

Flynn added:

It's very aggressive, rambunctious style of music. And sometimes, on the surface it looks very chaotic, but underneath, the message is very positive, very forward thinking. A good example to the outside world that straight edge isn't this gang and it's really about just a positive way of living your own life, and giving back to society
