Go!
Driven by a desire to spread positivity and constructive ideals, Straight On View aims to leave a lasting impression on the punk landscape. Messages of unity and understanding through their music. “The most important things I took from youth crew were having a positive outlook and being constructive with your thoughts and actions.” – reflects Eliot. “If we want to change things, we have to bring people together and break down the divisions between us.”

Philadelphia hardcore crew STRAIGHT ON VIEW – named, presumably, after either the LÄRM album or the UNITY song, or both – come out fighting for a positive mental attitude. With classic titles like Don’t Push Me (Push Yourself) they do, thankfully, have a little negativity for flippers:
Creep creep the price goes up. The fun never stops. Buy for a thousand sell for a thousand and one. I’ll make a disneyland of your favorite memories. Before you know it, Black Flag is playing Chuck E Cheese. Some advice if your life is in the shitter: Could be worse, you could be a flipper.
Eight short songs of fast and ultra-fast, youth crew sublimity that picks you up, dusts you down, and barks: “You got this!” Classic hardcore drums, stomping bridges, lightening fast riffs, solos, and semi-tough vocals. A CHAIN OF STRENGTH/MINOR THREAT motivational speaker to get you through hard times, with a little chunky COKE BUST despair for balance. The only thing missing is an occasional ‘Go!‘. Absolutely ripping.
Released on limited edition cassette on April 5th 2024 by Strange Mono Records. All proceeds to benefit PAWS.
