In Effect 91' New York Hardcore Documentary w/ Agnostic Front, Sick of It All, Gorilla Biscuits

The best hardcore documentary!

[@fruitlesspursuits_]

As teenagers growing up in Central Indiana, we watched this VHS RELIGIOUSLY. It was a window into a scene we worshipped. Thanks for posting this!

[@samghost13]

Hardcore until i die! Since the late 80's the Hardcore Bands are still going Strong!!!

[@kelilalitadasi4813]

this never gets old. :) even if we do

[@emcmw]

Keli Lalita Dasi I'm 42 and it feels like last month I was going to these shows and being young and not giving two fucks about anything. Miss these days but have the memories and three kids to get down with this eventually 😎😉

[@tone5037]

Pete and Lou much respect, met you guys at the Citedal in DC when you played with Gut Instinct from Bmore, you all supported the local MD & DC SCENE.

[@clovismcpony]

Love the VHS FBI warning in the beginning :)

Saw Sick Of It All twice in my hometown - Leeds. Raised the roof both times.

[@rodbob11]

Great vid,this was my life in the 80s so many good hardcore ,and punk bands,I saw almost all the band in this vid.I would do it all over again. Sucks to be 46 lol

do you know if the band playing at 21:40 is Sick of it all? Im familiar with them but Ive never seen what they look like in concert.

Big ups to Roger for showing love to Latinos🇸🇻🤘

[@jumpfart666]

[@tone5037]

I also had this on VHS, Smash Records in Georgetown, DC. So many memories, saw all these bands live when they came to DC. Glad to see some of these guys still around putting it down HARDCORE will never die, true a lot of these guys weren't in it for the $$, just music from the heart.

[@geoffreydeibel]

Smash! SOIA at capitol ballroom was the first show I went to.

[@schwarzblatt]

AWESOME. These bands had such an intense stage presence. Harder to find bands with that kind of aura nowadays.

All these bands were on fire at this moment in time! AF especially we’re just on another level you knew even back then they were and always would be something special

[@Brando-Lee3725]

Im 44 . I got into metal with Black Sabbath as a kid when I was 8 , then Motorhead at 9 , then Minor Threat at 10 or 12 and i was off to the races !!!!! I hung out with punks and skins and all in between as a kid ! But I found my own place through hardcore music . Terror is a band I dig off the top of my head now days . Stick tight !

[@petephelan969]

Tim Williams was the best sounding hardcore singer in this scene imo. Regardless of drug taking or not. It's not my business. He sounds good. That's all I care about.

[@skervrok1]

i still have this VHS tape. I love how CIV is wearing SILVER Creepers!! probably the best Documentary still to Date!!!

[@shawnkimball5287]

ive seen sick of it all more than any other band. in the 80s and 90s they toured with everybody.saw them opening for dri,biohazard,agnostic fron,the exploited,warzone,fuckin body count.i dont even know how many times ive seen them. but they were always fukn badass

[@markrosenquist8259]

My band opened for Sick of it All and Biohazard in SoFl. 1992. Great times!

[@odelioparada6936]

One of the best HC show I've seen on video (VHS)

[@yupperdude1]

Toured with agnostic front for a week back in mid oughts.... some bad ass dudes. Roger and vinnie were good people.

[@howardmontaque8147]

Lyrics are what attracted me to hardcore

[@justxcantxhatexenuff]

Pretty much the same thing here. I was into metal first and still dig it, extreme metal,but really felt the HC lyrics

[@orenthal01]

Damn haven't seen this in years. I'm talking to Roger at this moment while watching this. Damn, to re-live those days......

[@awordfword8266]

If I was in it for the money, I'd be playing with Greg Ginn.

[@evanobrien2429]

I watched this so many times in the early 90's. I would love to see the hours of raw footage, both live & interview, that didn't make the final cut for this video.

[@williamperri3437]

I don't think that's Armand on drums with SOIA.

[@awordfword8266]

I wasn't too much different from these kids, hell I even did a hand full of shows with the Cro Mags and Sick of it all back in their early years. I was proud to see shows put on for kids by kids. Today our worst fears have come true and shows are put on by big corporations. Do these corporations have yours or my best interest in mind? No! So avoid them all you can and support local acts, go start a band, put on a show while we still have the right.

[@jackelmax1953]

you should check out hate5six

[@erics.4113]

Same! We opened for a lot of hardcore and punk bands from this time period. Good times!!!

[@DarkLightSwordFight]

Yes!!!!! Thank yoy for saying this. It hasn't quite aged well as its 2024 and we still have the right to rock. Hardcore and metalcore and all the subsequent genres are seeing a resurgence!!! The world is sick of hip nation and all the bullshit. I love hip hop and rap music. But the fact that that became the dominant sound and for a long time the only genre that my generation wanted to hear..things have gotten dicey!!!! I am a proud New York Hard Core recording artist and lemme tell you. The scene is strong and this shit is gonna be bigger and better every year. 🤘🤘🖤🖤

[@Xavier3205]

bands still try and the cant even come close to the old school riff-age going on here.

[@bleakforecast9906]

That's because they try and be too complicated and fancy. You can't bring an Eddie Van Halen type approach to songwriting into hardcore.

[@goregore6259]

@@bleakforecast9906 I mean it’s possible. Just it becomes crossover at that point right?

[@ackack2560]

I wouldn't doubt at the time SOIA shows had more people at them than a slayer show, I remember reading and a friend saying that during the 90s alot of thrash stuff dropped off, i mean everything after Seasons in the Abyss sucked.

@@ackack2560 that's a bull face lie! SOIA wouldn't never draw more people than slayer on any show, festival, open air or anything. I like SOIA don't get me wrong, but hard-core in the 90s was dead, that's why the bands starting doing crossover, to attract the thrashers to their shows.

I was at this show. I feel like the violence at shows really took hold when the breakdowns were sort of a call to be violent rather than the message of HC. the knuckleheads just started showing up for the beatdowns in the breaks.

keith morris i tip my hat to you from the uk the american bands walked like they talked it unlike the clash who singed to cbs it deafeats the very messsage they put out there this attitude of being against the system then they sign with the vey thing they are suppose to be against.this is why i admire the american punk bands of the early eighties i felt they meant it where bands from my own country didnt.

[@awordfword8266]

Yes, we do play bigger shows. Keen observation, Benjamin. Much like we do with OFF! and previously with Circle Jerks. My point, however, was to go support local acts whenever possible. I stand by the statement that these big corporations do not have yours or my best interest in mind. If I was 100% in charge of booking, we would probably never leave California but once or twice a year.

[@robertalexander9365]

You have this need to constantly drop your bands name, and how long you have been around. Many other folks have mentioned this as well....to the point where its becoming a running gag. Your a dirty old hippy my friend.. skull fucking the fruits of your Youth.

I go to every show I can when bands I like are in a 100 mile driving radius because you never know when this might be their last tour. They killed off C.B.G.B.'s, and all our other local promoter/DIY venues in the NYC area so what do we have here? Irving Plaza, Grammercy, big venues, big business, big corporations. But they book the bands I want to see and support.

Props to you Keith from North Alabama. Shows by kids for kids is alive and well, for the most part anyway. The kids from teen to us in our thirties on up are working hard to play, for free lots of times. One thing that keeps it alive where I live are you guys from the beginning that never lost it by selling out to the corporate rock machine. Living in Cali I could see a show weekly; shaking your hand was a bonus.
