What isn’t there to love about the cuddly boys from Earth Crisis? Hardcore’s most talked about band has reunited and is leaving their home (actually, it’s their mom’s basement) in Syracuse to tour the world. Hey, lucky us!

Want a sample of the happy times that go down at an Earth Crisis show?

You have to love any YouTube concert video that contains a lecture about a beer can being tossed onstage and the description, “right around the 6 min mark is when someone jumps on stage in a fur coat and all hell breaks loose.” Hardcore concert riots are downright adorable.

Loosen up your pitching arm and get those frosty cans of PBR ready, Earth Crisis will be at the Hawthorne Theater on March 10th.

Note: End Hits does not condone throwing objects at any band, unless of course it’s a pair of sexy panties being tossed at this glistening fellow. Hot.

Jesus...

I saw Earth Crisis years ago at Pine Street/La Luna.

It really wasn't that bad. The worst stupid dipshit ninja kicking ass beating self loathing closet homosexual show I've ever been to was Coalesce. That was the first time I ever got kicked in the head by a hardcore dancer. I immediately went to go punch the guy in the throat but was quickly stopped by a dude my size who grabbed my forearm as it was cocked back. He just shook his head in a "no" fashion at me and that was that.

I get the feeling he probably saved me from getting my head kicked in with steel toes.

I fucking hate those people.

i just wanna say that i do not condone "everything" this band stands for (the world isn't that black and white) but i do however agree with some of what they stand for and just wanted to give a little defence here...the video actually shows alot of positivity if you watch it...yes some of the dancing looks a little violent at times but who fukkin' cares kids could be doing a lot worse and so what if they let out a little aggression on the dance floor. seems like a pretty healthy way to me...may not perfect but neither is the world we live in ....all in all the video just looks like a lot of kids having a good time reguardless of the little interuption, which was about the audience here not the band. the band actually had nothing but positive things to say in my opinion...anyway so why bash them and put them in a negative spotlight (its not really that cool to bash earth crisis anymore that went out of style in 98) when in my opinion, reguardless if they are perfect in your eyes or not, they're just having a good time and saying a lot more posive things than alot of the watered down crap that is out there..GO! to the show and judge for yourself though don't believe everything you read...thanks

old and jaded sometimes at least
