AGNOSTIC FRONT
"VICTIM IN PAIN 25TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR"

AGNOSTIC FRONT
Of the 80’s genesis bands in hardcore punk, Agnostic Front was perhaps the brashest and most offensive when compared to their contemporaries (Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag). Never was the desperate life of NYC’s street-dwelling downtrodden so directly channeled into music until Agnostic Front reared their heads. From the downtown crowd of gutter punks and skinheads, guitarist Vinnie Stigma created an explosive coalition of raw energy, featuring vocalist Roger Miret at the forefront. The two have been the band’s only permanent members, as intense personalities caused frequent conflict typical of legendary punk outfits. 1985’s Victim In Pain earned them national attention and made them staples in the legendary CBGB’s scene, coming up alongside The Exploited, Cro-Mags and Murphy’s Law.

In 2005, the band solidified the second guitar slot in the band, marking their commitment to a thrashier sound. Their current sound, infinitely heavy and brutal, is the perfect way in which to redress the classics of Victim In Pain for the hi-fi sound system at Santos Party House for punk originals. NYHC lives.
MOTHER OF MERCY
Pennsylvania’s Mother of Mercy serve pit-ready thrashcore with a side of doom. At the forefront is Robert Wilson IV, whose screams emit the force of a thousand hurricanes. The rhythm section’s grinding stringwork effortlessly find the perfect balance between full-on aggression and slower sections.

PRODUCT OF WASTE
Immediately apparent in Product of Waste’s music is the confrontational defiance of Agnostic Front, with the true school hardcore sound to match. Their angular guitar, gut-bursting and piercing vocals easily satiate the primal urge for authentic hardcore.

INHUMAN
Fast, dark and hard as hell, Inhuman has been providing unadulterated hardcore to Brooklyn for fifteen years. With releases on I Scream and A-F Records, and a roster that includes former members of Agnostic Front, these guys maintain loyalty and credibility in numerous underground circles. They are distinguished for their varied sense of melody and their conscious lyrics, all punk rock calls to arms.
