Its funny the Agnostic Front were really popular right as punk was dying. It was evolving into this sort of metal thrash hardcore punk that was rather lame in comparison. It was just the evolution of punk, it was bound to happen.
Looking for a better shock a louder sound a more bloody pit. I hung around them awhile then had my giant WTF moment when I realized I was surrounded by losers. Anyway…
The Agnostic Front are touring. This has to be the 'put my kid through college tour' or the 'Im nearing my midlife crisis tour'. Not unlike the geezers of Social D and Bad Religion these old time tough guys will need alot of Metamucil and a heating pad after each show. C'mon boys really?
I must implore you all again to leave this genre to the kids…mentor, produce, hell even be a total lame ass and write them up for a really great music blog, promoting the next wave.
To try and relive '84 makes you look old, paunchy and pathetic.
