Raid were a Tennessee based vegan straight edge hardcore punk band that formed after the break-up of the hardcore band One Way.[1] Raid were a part of the Hardline subculture, which combined the tenets of straight edge (a no drugs, no alcohol lifestyle) with militant veganism and environmentalism.[2][need quotation to verify]
