Modern Fix
Not sure what to say about Sam and his (past) band, Born Against. They had the same influence in my musical hardcore pubescence that Minor Threat did to punk, Operation Ivy did to ska (?) and Guns N Roses did to rock. You know what I’m talking about; everyone has that one band that kicked your ass into a new genre of music. Born Against drew the line between hardcore and punk, whatever the fuck that means. Sometimes political, always asshole’s, a reputation was created by the I-don’t-give-a-fuck attitude that fueled scene gossip. Born Against’s first release, a seven inch in 1989, pushed the band into a 21 (as much as I can count) release discography that wrapped up in 1995. Pausing to hum a tune off of “Battle Hymns”, I thought about Sam McPheeters, vocalist of Born Against. What the fuck’s he up to?
