Life Force:
Life Force is a straight edge hardcore band out of Texas/Oklahoma. The group was formed in 2018 with a clear focus: the mission of paying homage to the sound, aesthetic, and spirit of classic youth crew inspiration, albeit with a darker modern twist, while expressing pertinent socio-political themes and opinions through engaging lyrical content and a poignant on-stage message.
This push to put message at the forefront is (or should be) a vital component of the experience that is a hardcore band. The message, in this instance, is made up of an assortment of subjects, ranging from continuous positive self-development, veganism, straight edge, radical politics, and more.
The musical inspiration for the band was to create something that was clear and coherent in approach and style, building a sound that is unique and fresh while still calling back to obvious influences from the past and present.
With these combined elements, Life Force strives to forge a bond between band and audience, whether that means in a live setting or otherwise, that reinforces the core idea that a scene, a city, and even the world can be changed for the better through critical thought, persistence of will, and an ongoing commitment to first embodying this positive change at a personal level.

Moral Law:
Moral Law is a vegan straight edge metalcore band from Denver, Colorado. After some changes in their lineup, the band released their self-titled EP in 2019, followed up by a split release in 2020. Moral Law draws inspiration from the edge-metal bands of both the 90’s and of recent years. After experimenting with message and approach, the band has crafted their own raw and emotionally complex take on a style that has greatly influenced them all as both individuals and musicians.
XEscalatex:
Escalate is a vegan straight edge hardcore band out of Hungary, formed in 2020. They are the first and only fully vegan straight edge band in the country’s history. Their goal was to bring radical vegan and leftist ideas to the scene. The band is inspired by the political XVX bands of the 90s and early 2000s just as much as current heavy hardcore sound.
When the pandemic restrictions got lifted, Escalate started to play around Hungary and the neighboring countries. In three years span they managed to release a demo tape, a 7” EP called The Damage Is Done and their songs were featured on two international straight edge compilations. They finished five tours across ten European countries.
In 2024 Escalate is ready to take the next step and show the world so far their best and most mature record in collaboration with New Age Records. The band’s first full length is titled “Consequences” and contains 8 blistering tracks mastered by Scott Crouse.
