MUSICIAN & ZINE ARTIST
LOU KOLLER
Sick Of It All Founding Lead Vocalist & NYHC Frontman • Queens, NYC • Since 1986
Founding frontman of Queens NYHC institution Sick Of It All since 1986. With commanding stage presence, working-class humor, and unmistakable vocal grit on anthems like 'Step Down', 'Scratch the Surface', and 'Us vs. Them', Lou Koller has led some of the largest circle pits and Walls of Death in hardcore history.
“Whether it's fifty kids in a Queens basement in 1987 or fifty thousand at a festival, hardcore only works when the crowd and the band are one unit.”
