Fall Out Boy drummer Andy Hurley talks why it was the right time to revive his 1990s metalcore band Racetraitor, touching on politics, racism, slavery, the prison system, the NFL protests. Though he initially had reservations due to some members no longer being straight edge or vegan, the political climate made it important. He goes into the controversy the band faced, especially back when they were a grindcore band (before Hurley joined), concerning their more brazen messaging. Interview conducted October 25, 2017.
