Agnostic Front Founder & NYHC Lower East Side Patriarch • Lower East Side, NYC • Since 1979
Founding guitarist and beating heart of Agnostic Front since 1980, as well as early co-founder of Madball. Born and raised in a tenement apartment on Mott Street, Vinnie Stigma is the beloved ambassador of New York Hardcore, famous for jumping straight into the circle pit mid-song with his guitar.
“New York Hardcore is family. We grew up on the Lower East Side with nothing, so we built our own scene from the pavement up.”

NYHC patriarch Vinnie Stigma leaps off the stage directly into the middle of the spinning circle pit without missing a single downstroke chord.
