So here goes, I'm currently 17, I'm from US California. First got into Punk when I was 14, bands that really got me into punk were bands like city-x, actives, TSOL, partisans ext. Got into anarcho bands as I went along bands like crass and flux of pink Indians. I was really inspired by these bands, they talked about a life of freedom, unity, and strength. Since I was a child I always feared growing up, wondering why I had to get a job/get married/have children. So anarcho punk really opened up my mind. By the time I was 15 I had dropped out of school and left home, squatting, sleeping over people houses, and struggling to get by police. I think that was the point when I really started to get involved with anarchism, since I was getting harassed by police a lot. As I got older, I got more into anarchism and activism. Eventually me and a couple friends made a Dbeat Anarcho band called INFLUX about a year ago, and we're still (trying) to keep it going. And that's about it. I look forward to Standing with all of you in our fight for freedom.
