Hardcore ambassador Vinnie Stigma (AGNOSTIC FRONT), recently released the follow up to 'New York Blood'. Entitled 'For Love & Glory', the NEW Stigma contains more Punk Rock elements than their previous effort. 'For Love & Glory' was produced by Phil Caivano, Rancid's Lars Frederiksen and the bands bassist Mike Gallo (AGNOSTIC FRONT). STIGMA has premiered the video for "Don't Lose Faith", the first single out of 'For Love & Glory'. The video is a tribute from STIGMA to the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Watch it below.
Every year, Murphy's Law celebrates St. Patrick's Day at The Trash
Bar in Brooklyn, NY. This annual party is always a full blown party full
of good times, plenty of Jagermeister, good looking people and plenty
of party treats!
Unfortunately, this year the party turned sour when someone decided to threaten the safety of the crowd by claiming to have a gun. This is what the bands front man and New York Hardcore legend, Jimmy Gestapo, posted on his personal Facebook page regarding the incident:
"Sorry
for the drama at last nights show someone said they had a gun so we
stop playing period. When someone puts myself and my fans in danger by
continuing playing I find it disrespectful and had to deal with it
accordingly."
Jimmy and the band totally did the right thing by preventing a potential tragedy.

There is no question that Agnostic Front changed the face of New York City Hardcore forever, actually they were one of the first bands that helped shape up the scene over 25 years ago, and to this very day they have been the ambassador's of NYHC. While you may think that at this point of their careers, they are sitting back and relaxing, the reality is that when it comes to Hardcore music the bands never stop writing music, performing all over the world, and flying the Hardcore flag with pride and joy.
With the release of their NEW album 'My Life, My Way', Agnostic Front have proven again that they are untouchable and have plenty of fuel left in their musical arsenal. Today, the band is premiering the video for the track "Us Against The World"! Watch it with caution!

PRIZES:
1. Two free tickets to the ATTIKA 7 show of the winner’s choice in 2012 (transportation not included)
ATTIKA 7 recorded Blood of My Enemies with legendary producer MUDROCK (Avenged Sevenfold, Godsmack). Expect an announcement coming very soon detailing some big things happening with ATTIKA 7!
Former BIOHAZARD frontman Evan Seinfeld (now in ATTIKA7), has had quiet a career in the entertainment industry! At the young age of 17 he formed BIOHAZARD, a Hardcore Punk band that riskily crossed over into Heavy Metal. After many years of placing New York City culture in the International map of Heavy Music, Seinfeld started looking for other ways to grow as an artist. This is when he started venturing into television and later into adult film. While he is proud of all that he has accomplished, music is where his heart is!
When Seinfeld left BIOHAZARD earlier this year, right after the completion of the bands NEW album 'Reborn in Defiance', the entire Heavy Music community was shocked to find out that Seinfeld had quit the band he founded in 1987. While the reasons for his departure didn't change the evolution of the band, their fans were left wondering the reason behind Seinfeld's decision. We recently had the chance to chat with Seinfeld about why he left the band to join ATTIKA 7, and why he is more excited than ever before about his upcoming album with his NEW band.
ATTIKA 7’s NEW album, 'Blood Of My Enemies', is set for a July 31, 2012 release and features ex-Biohazard vocalist Evan Seinfeld, lead guitarist, notable songwriter and famed (Sons of Anarchy) motorcycle builder Rusty Coones, and bassist Tony Campos, founding member of Static X, who also currently performs in Soulfly, Prong, Possessed, Asesino and Ministry. The band recorded 'Blood of My Enemies' with legendary producer MUDROCK (Avenged Sevenfold, Godsmack).
Joining the band recently, are guitarist Zach Broderick (formerly with Nonpoint), drummer Tommy Holt (ex-UPO) and legendary Kyuss bassist Scott Reeder.
Here is the first part of our exclusive interview with Evan Seinfeld! Sit back, relax and crank it up!

We have a full interview with Evan Seinfeld coming soon, but for now here is a small preview. During this clip, Seinfeld talks about one of BIOHAZARD's biggest and proudest moments within their extensive musical career. In 2010, the band headlined "Rock Al Parque", one of Latin America's biggest music festivals in front of over 300,000 people. The event takes place every year in Bogota, Colombia and it gathers a VERY diverse lineup. It also attracts thousands of music fans from all parts of the country. This year's edition takes place this weekend (see the poster below)! Without further due, here is the interview clip. Watch it, share it and stay tuned for the full interview!

Here is Jessica's statement:
"At the beginning of March I had a sore throat.
"By March 9th It seemed to be strep. I got it checked out on the 12th and sure enough they thought the same. But my doctors were wrong. The next two weeks I suffered the most intense pain I have ever felt in my life. Several times my throat closed up to the point where I couldn't breathe, swallow, lay down or turn my head. I was in and out of doctors offices, and the ER almost every day for 2 weeks.
"After several diagnoses, 2 CAT scans, many many tests, pills, shots, poking, prodding, bleeding, two failed procedures with medieval looking instruments and one successful 20+ minute attack with a scalpel later we managed to find an abscess lodged in my throat and removed 250+ ML (about half a pint) of.... well.... really bad stuff that was hanging out in my neck. all this was done while I was WIDE awake on topical anesthesia while I was in charge of not allowing myself to choke, move or scream. The doctor was amazed at how bad it actually was and the big discrepancy between tests and reality. He broke for a second, lowered his voice so my mom wouldn't hear and said.."I've never seen anything like this. You know you could've died at any point in these past 2 weeks". Believe me, I already knew this....
"I am finally feeling much better and one's health is most important of all things but, now I have another problem. During the past month I have collected a HUGE amount of debt. I am still not "out of the woods" yet, so to speak, as I have 2 more follow up visits to make sure we got out everything that needed to be taken out and visits to specialist are also quite costly. This ordeal has caused me to miss work, wipe out my bank account on things that are not covered by insurance and fall behind on rent and all of my everyday bills as well.
"A conservative guess (I'm talking BARE BONES HERE) of what I have racked up this week alone is about $8,000 dollars, $1,100 of which has been paid out of pocket so far. (That number may change when the rest of the bills come in). Then figure in rent and bills for another $2,000 and... you have a real problem.
"So... In a very UN Jessica-like move, I am asking for help.
In situations like these anything and everything counts and can help and I thank all of those who checked up on me constantly and consistently through out this terrible time with phone calls, texts and visits even though I hadn't seen some of you in years, or you were hundreds or thousands of miles away, and the select few special people who offered and actually DID help me in COUNTLESS ways--- you are on my special superhero list. I don't know how I could ever repay you.
"On a side note. Slayer's song "Angel of Death" now has new meaning for me... especially the line "Surgery, with no anesthesia". Now I know how bad that is. But as much as I suffered it pains me more to know that there are people out there who are suffering even more than this right now.... This was a valuable lesson."
