Pickin’ the Brain of Bane

Not just a household name in Massachusetts anymore, Bane have reached legendary status in the hardcore scene with their energetic shows and scream-a-long anthems. From basement shows in Worcester to sold-out venues in Manchester, when you think of hardcore, you think of Bane.

When we caught up with Bane’s guitarist, Aaron Dalbec, for a lil’ pre-show banter, we found out that he has a lot in common with peta2. Same likes: veg food, helping animals, and rocking. And same dislikes: animal abusers, vivisection, and animal factories. Check out our interview with Aaron, and the next time you think of Bane, you won’t just think hardcore—you will also think animal rights!

Aaron has two main ways to get his point of view across: one is rocking people’s faces off using a guitar; the other is using his voice to get people thinking about the horrific ways in which animals are treated. Now you can follow Aaron’s example of getting loud for something you believe in, even if you lack guitar skills.
