A person I admire

The title says "A person" but I will really talk about a band that I had a great impact in my life, this band is called Have Heart. Have Heart was an straight edge hardcore band formed in New Bedford, Massachusetts in 2002, straight edge is a subculture whose adherents refrains from using alcohol, drugs, or any other recreatiional drug in reactional of the excesses of punk culture.

 I love this band because of the topics of  their lyrics, when someone said the word "hardcore punk", you think in big guys with chains and mohawks drinking, destroying and fighting listening to noisy music, this band reject all of this, they sing about self-control, respect, pacifism, youth pressure, perseverance, self-destruction, friendship and family in very powerfull songs with some screamings and melodic riffs and of course some noisy melodies.These lyrical themes have allowed them to have a commanding force in at least the possitive hardcore scene, and even the scene as a whole.
Have heart's last show was played on National Edge Day in Rever, Massachusetts along with o

ther bands, it was a really short show with a very few people, beacuse they weren't o much popular and famouse. I don't share too much that straight edge ideology but anyways their lyrics really gets to me.  Maybe my favourite song is Watch Me Rise, it talks about self esteem and improvement, but my favourite album and I would recommend to everyone who is reading this its Songs to scream at the sun.
