Rarely confronted, and always respected, leaders of hardcore established as one of the original and meanest-sounding punk bands and pretty much inventing the term ‘hardcore’.

Long outliving legendary contemporaries Minor Threat, SSD, Dead Kennedys and Black Flag, AGNOSTIC FRONT could easily live off their laurels but have never been anything other than a catalogue of fast and violent punk, a non-stop barrage of chaotic shouting, a rhythm section quite literally uncontrollable, and explosive guitars.

“It’s social politics,” says Roger, “The day-to-day reality of waking up, reading the newspaper, and walking around the neighbourhood. It’s a hard stare on why the world is still one fucked-up place, and we tackle the very real shit that’s going down: gentrification’s running rampant, street justice, world destruction, working wages, and backs are still being stabbed.”

The living embodiment that ‘hardcore for life’ isn’t an empty slogan or a musical dead end. Nobody is born with tattoos. Nobody is born hardcore. But when the ink or the music sets in, you’re changed”.

They’re still operating like a musical razor blade. THIS IS HARDCORE! Question is … will there be anything left of York after this??
