BIO:

As one of the longest standing bands still proudly waving the flag of New York Hardcore, Sick Of It All have made their mark as one of the cornerstones of NYHC, proving that heart, hard work and dedication to hardcore is about more than just the music and an image, its a way of life. The four-piece will be celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2006 and coinciding with that monumental event is the release of the bands 9th full length record entitled Death To Tyrants.

Originally formed by brothers Lou and Pete Koller in the mid-80s, Sick Of It All set the aggressive tone of their music and ideology by offering a no-frills view of the world around them. The band released their first self-titled EP on Revelation Records and began to accumulate a strong local following after playing infamous clubs like CBGBs. Soon after, the band released their first full-length record, Blood Sweat And No Tears.

Often revolving around politics, social injustices and life on streets in New York, the band wore their views on their sleeve and made no apologies, often times attempting to include thread of positivity. When their second album, Just Look Around, was released in 1992, it was a benchmark for the band and the New York hardcore scene, which also saw the band tour Europe and Japan. They released their breakthrough-album Scratch The Surface in 1994 on Atlantic, followed by a live album and a collection of rarities before they released their seminal record Built To Last in 1997.

After releasing three albums on Fat Wreck Chords, as well as a live album and a collection of rarities, the band took on the challenge to push themselves further. Death To Tyrants was recorded with Dean Baltulonis (Give Up The Ghost, Most Precious Blood) at Atomic Studios and mixed by Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Himsa).

Proving to be an institution of hardcore while different trends came and went, the band have crafted an album which proves why they are the hardcore heavyweight champions of not only New York, but the world. Its their longevity and conviction that has kept the band¹s reputation untarnished and legendary. On Death To Tyrants, the band pulls no punches and shows clearly why they are the definition of hardcore.

Lou Koller - Vocals

Don't really know them tbh. But the Belfast gig will be excellent just for the other bands.

Baggio...

Runnin Riot are Oi/street punk

Complan are 80's hardcore stuff with a bit of fun thrown in

Dein Kampf are equal parts 80's hardcore and Refusesd-esque hardcore maybe

Aye, I think it's the Dublin band. Belfast lineup is so much better.

Baggio...

Cool, those bands sound pretty much what I'm inta'. Pity I can't get the chance to split up to Belfast.

Pete the Killer....I knew the lead singer some time ago, don't know if it's still the same guy now (dont know how they managed to support SOIA - I'm jealous!). They are pretty much modern H.C. - would'nt be my cup of tea TBH.

Later,

Baggio.

bombidol

its mad weird that PTK are supporting. ill be interested to see. 20BE were down too. but......
anyways.
Im interviewing em on Thurs for Hardcore times so that should be sweet.

Ro: maaan!

I was expecting at least 2 support bands for SOIA. Not bothered going for just one.

Excellent show last night, real pro's!

bombidol

amazing gig

Baggio...

Yeah it was very, very cool....

Liked the fact they played some really early stuff too. Lou is a great front man - really had the crowd pumped.

What did you guys think of PTK? I thought they were okay. Not mad on that guy's voice TBH. Liked the Poison Idea cover. (was still the same singer:) )

Later...

Ro: maaan!

What Poison Idea song did they play?

Baggio...

Err.... Cant quite remember the songs name. It's on Kings of Punk. The song that's about Acchohol...
