He played guitar on the first Youth of Today record, he sang for the legendary Underdog and is the singer for Into Another. Richie Birkenhead has been around the hardcore scene for decades. I met him at his office which is about 2 blocks from Ground Zero. A very smart guy who, in his own words is, "just a middle aged man trying to navigate through life in a very strange time". We discuss his hardcore roots, his decision a long time ago to go vegan, and carry all the way up to "Into Another" playing this years "This is Hardcore" festival, which unfortunately they recently had to cancel due to an unforeseen medical condition. This gets a bit political but not too much. I happened to agree with the majority of what he says. Much respect and as always... thanks for the support and for listening. Enjoy.
