The Godfather of NYHC invites you to a lower east side NYC walk. Storytales from his time among mobsters, punks and a lot of artists of the NYC hardcore and punk scene. Vinnie Stigma born on 3rd December 1955 is known as being the founder of the legendary NYHC band Agnostic Front and one of the earliest punks from the area being around CBGB, Electric Circus, Max’s Kansas City. The book has memories of Vinnie’s growing up in Little Italy and doing a team with the Cuban born vocalist Roger Miret to form Agnostic Front. Stories from the 1970;s NYC from his early jobs to sing on the world biggest stages. He is not only a guitarist on Agnostic Front (besides he is having his other band Stigma and other projects), but he is also a cook and for some years he was into professional wrestling, acting and martial arts. Nice stories to read on 272 pages (hardcover book) out on Permuted Press. Not to say the foreword is by Roger Miret. PS. the book has as well some personal old photos of Stigma even some cooking recipes from Italian cuisine.

Death Before Dishonor – Master Of None

Amazing news for the hardcore fans out there. Death Before Dishonor the Boston HC outfit are celebrating 24 years as a band and they are returning with a new two song EP 7”. This EP was recorded by Zeuss (Hatebreed, Agnostic Front) and it has two new songs: Master Of None and a cover of Sonic Reducer from Dead Boys. So this is hardcore and metal riffs mixed with punk at their finest. The EP is out from Bridge 9. Make sure to give them kudos for this and wait for the new material.

Official music video for Death Before Dishonor’s “Freedom Dies”, off their new album ‘Unfinished Business’. Out now on Bridge Nine Records. This is their latest full album released just before the pandemy in 2019.

OXX – The Primordial Blues

Ok, maybe this is not my 100% style, but i must say that OXX surprised my in a nice way. They formed in 2012 in Aarhus, Denmark and since then they have released 3 studio albums and one EP and 5 music videos. The band was born into the Danish punk/metal scene but they are more than metal…this is something else, out of this world. I do not have a lot of knowledge when it comes to metal, but to be honest this is was full of force and crazy riffs. The Primordial Blues was released in August 2023 by Nefarious Industries and it is a mix of jazz, metal, sludge and chaotic hardcore and crust elements. Something to listen to your gym sessions.
