Agnostic Front started in 1982 on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Although they were not the first New York hardcore band, they are the most well known, and are also one of the few from that early scene to last into the 90’s. The core of Agnostic Front has always been guitarist Vinny Stigma and vocalist Roger Miret, although lineup changes have been commonplace throughout the group’s history. Before ever putting anything on record, previous singers included Rob Kabula, John Watson, and Jimmy the Mad Russian, and Rabeez from Warzone was the band’s original drummer (he plays on the United Blood EP). Agnostic Front identified themselves as skinheads, and as part of the “Lower East Side Crew,” a group of punks living in a neighborhood which was, at the time, both poverty-stricken and dangerous (at least more than it is today). In the early 80’s, Stigma also organized the New York chapter of the Better Youth Organization (a group started in Los Angeles, California, by Shawn Stern of Youth Brigade).
