"...THESE MIGHT BE CONSIDERED HOLY RELICS IN THE HISTORY OF STRAIGHT EDGE."
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on two DIY T-shirt and jacket designs from the Boston, MA "Straight Edge" hardcore punk scene of the early '80s, from the private collection of the late, great Al Barile, guitarist/co-founder of Boston hardcore punk band SOCIETY SYSTEM DECONTROL.
PIC #3: Al Barile can be seen wearing "The Straight Edge" blue jacket on the sleeve art to the band's 1982 debut full-length "The Kids Will Have Their Say."
"Somehow these original relics have survived over 40 years & were brought out for interview yesterday. These might be considered holy relics in the history of straight edge. My guess is they might be the first and original start of the movement."
