Harm's Way on "People are of no value" ("Breeding Grounds") & straight edge

Harm's Way on "People are of no value" ("Breeding Grounds") & straight edge | Aggressive Tendencies

Harm's Way vocalist James Pligge and guitarist Bo Lueders discuss straight edge, why they're still a straight edge band and how "Ease My Mind" is their more advanced way of looking at straight edge in their adult years. They also discuss the "people are of no value" clip used in "Breeding Grounds." It comes from 'The Adventures of Mark Twain' and fits with the song's message of hate for humanity. They explain that the clip's meaning is a double-edged sword; while Lueders always took it in a positive light, it can certainly be nihilistic. March 3, 2017.

However, if you can recognize that you don’t have the ability to moderate or control it, that’s true strength to be able to say “no”. Kudos to those who have that kind of self-awareness.
