Harder than hard, New York’s Sick of it All will bludgeon your senses with their hardcore riffs and punch in the face lyrics. Tattoos, muscles and attitude. Throw yourself into the mosh pit of the SOIA wall of sound. Incredible live they will hammer nails into your psyche with songs like ‘We Stand Alone’. Powerful and untempered, these guys rock. Support comes from the delightful Broken Teeth.
