Earth Crisis

Vegan straight edge hardcore band Earth Crisis is about earth, human and animal liberation. Formed by a group of skateboarders in 1989 in Syracuse, New York, the band found their voice when Karl Buechner swapped his bass for a microphone. They released their first full-length album, “Destroy the Machines”, in 1995, featuring crushing low-tuned guitars, heavy breakdowns, and lyricism about industrial factory farming. Even though Earth Crisis was influenced mostly by metal bands, they remain a historic pillar in hardcore to this day. Earth Crisis separated on good terms in 2001, but reformed after a supposedly one-time show at Maryland Deathfest in 2007. Since then, the band has been thriving musically and never strays from their beliefs. Earth Crisis has inspired many to love a cruelty-free life, but at Jera on Air 2027 we will happily let them destroy the stage!
