Agnostic Front celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary in Kiev

They have no equal, they are respected and considered leaders of the genre by representatives of hardcore. Their sound - one of the worst in punk music - helped engrave hardcore as a musical and cultural trend, first in New York and then in the world. Initially, Agnostic Front produced fast, powerful punk, featuring aggressive drums and bass, and the chaotic vocals of Roger Miret. This year, the legendary team celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary of their debut debut, who, going ahead, paved the way for their entire catalog.

Date and place: November 12, Atlas Club.

Agnostic Front has never been shy about expressions. Their songs have always been honest in their criticism of modern oppressors and their negative impact on society. In 1983, the group was created by guitarist Vinnie Stigma, releasing the breakthrough EP United Blood, which all collectors are hunting for today.

With the first album Victim in Pain (1984), the group laid a solid foundation for hardcore as a genre; it was she who brought them to the front ranks of the New York hardcore party, which at that time was centered around the CBGB club. When the long-awaited “Live at CBGB” DVD came out in 2006, Miret stated: “We played more shows at CBGB than any other band, and we played more charity shows at CBGB than any other band.” At that time, many punk bands tried to save the cult club from closing.

And now, 35 years later, the group celebrates the anniversary of that landmark debut, to which they owe their successful career for several decades and a loyal fan base all over the world.

Roger Miret: “We can’t wait to start the tour dedicated to the 35th anniversary of Victim In Pain! It's hard to believe that so many years have passed and our fans around the world are as passionate as before. Our film“ The Godfathers of Hardcore ”, which is now available all over the world, has a strong cultural influence just like our Victim In Pain album once had.This year there will be so many cool events, including our arrival in your country, in your city!

See you November 12th at Atlas!
