Status Updates From Fenway Punk: How a Boston I...

“But I no longer had time to myself where I didn't need to be anywhere or doing anything anymore. It was getting to the point that there was always something I could be doing to push the label forward, and if I was doing anything else, it was taking away from that. I needed to find balance.”

not too pleased to find out that my dad had dog-eared some of pages as a method of bookmarking because he read it before i did but. stoked to read more regardless!

“Doing crazy shit for the thrill of it was exciting in the moment and often made for a great story afterward, but we were flirting with terrible consequences, and honestly, it was turning us into assholes. […] I didn't want to be that guy. I was twenty-four, no longer a kid, but I was acting like there were no repercussions, affecting people I was close to.”

“In most cities, fans of punk music and fans of sports did not mix well, leaving a big gap between the two. […] That wasn't the case in Boston, where hardcore and punk bands have expressed support for the city's professional sports teams for years. Being a punk and liking sports here gets a pass.”
