News : Sick of it All & Agnostic Front: Australian Tour

By on February 15, 2012

Press release:

Two of the most influential bands in the history of hardcore music, New York’s Sick Of It All and Agnostic Front will be touring Australia together this May on the “New York United Tour”.
Sick Of It All are celebrating their 25th year as a band.  In honor of this achievement they recently released “Non Stop” – an album of re-recordings of classic hits. With 9 studio albums to their name and still exhibiting as much energy as the day they started, Sick Of It All are showing no signs of slowing down.
Since 1982, Agnostic Front has been amongst the most venerable and notorious outcasts of the New York hardcore movement. The 2 records that started it all, United Blood and Victim in Pain, are legendary releases and were partially responsible for the hardcore genre itself.
Rounding out the bill is Sydney’s Toe To Toe. Over nearly two decades the tale to Toe To Toe has been rooted in survival, struggle and conviction. Forming at a time when many felt real hardcore punk rock had enjoyed it’s day the band rallied against trends and reared up in the face of fashion to become Sydney’s proudest exponents of a form of music that remains well and truly on the outside.
