SICK OF IT ALL

Unbroken New York Hardcore loyalty from Queens basements to global festival stages—home of the Alleyway Dragon, nonstop windmill pits, and 'Step Down'.

Formed in Queens, New York in 1986 by brothers Lou and Pete Koller alongside Armand Majidi and Rich Cipriano (later joined by bassist Craig Setari). Acrossnearly four decades of relentless world touring and classic albums like 'Blood, Sweat and No Tears' (1989) and 'Scratch the Surface' (1994), Sick Of It All became the gold standard of live NYHC power.
