Thank You / Update

The past two weekends have been unbelievable! Thanks so much to everyone for coming out to the shows and for their support for Burning Fight. I put six years of my life into making Burning Fight a reality, and I’m ecstatic that it has finally seen the light of day.

Both the Chicago and Pomona shows were incredible. I left both with such a positive feeling. Hardcore is what we make of it. This music, this community, these ideals forever changed my outlook on the world, as well as countless others. These past two weekends were a firm reminder of that, and I thank everyone who came out to share these experiences.   

Thanks to all who picked up Burning Fight at the shows or ordered it online. Please drop me a line and let me know your thoughts as you dig into it. The book is now available and shipping at www.revhq.com as well as several other indie retail outlets. It will be available in larger retail stores in the coming weeks.

In the past couple weeks there have been several other stories on Burning Fight. Here are links to a couple of pieces:

I am also lining up some places to talk about the book this summer. The first set date will be Saturday, June 20^th at the Evanston Public Library in Evanston, IL. More info about this and other engagements coming soon. If you know of any colleges, bookstores, libraries, or other places that might be interested in hosting an event, please contact me at 90shardcore@gmail.com

Again, thanks to everyone for their enthusiasm and support. Without you none of this would have been possible.

Hardcore lives!

Take care,

Brian/Burning Fight
