Jigga what!? Is this 1997? Earth Crisis' chugging riffs and barked declarations served as the mouthpiece of America's militant vegan straight-edge movement throughout the '90s, detailing the ideas of animal and human liberation, drug-free living, and personal empowerment through hardcore songs. Because of these guys major media outlets such as MTV, CNN, and CBS started covering Earth Crisis and vegan straight-edge in general. I also saw Karl rescue a baby bird outside at 4040 in 2000. Totally legit animal lovers!
