The Hardcore Therapist 147- Chris LaPointe (Wake of Humanity)

Send us Fan MailToday I’m joined by Chris LaPointe, vocalist of Wake of Humanity, a Washington state vegan straight edge hardcore band rooted in animal rights, environmental justice, human justice, and resistance.Wake of Humanity is part of the New Age Records family, which makes this conversation especially meaningful because The Hardcore Therapist Podcast has also been connected with and supportive of New Age Records. So this feels like one of those moments where the hardcore community overlaps in the best way — music, values, activism, and mental health all in the same conversation.For more than a decade, Wake of Humanity has used hardcore as a vehicle for conviction, writing songs that speak to injustice, accountability, and the urgency of staying awake in a world that can make people want to shut down.Support the show
