Vinnie Stigma of Agnostic Front: The Godfather of Hardcore (A HardLore Film)

Vinnie Stigma of Agnostic Front: The Godfather of Hardcore (A HardLore Film)

- By Maxime Cherrier

HardLore is honored to be joined by the Godfather of hardcore himself: Vinnie Stigma from Agnostic Front.

A true pioneer of the genre and a living legend, Vinnie took us around his neighborhood in New York City, including the world famous former home of the legendary venue CBGBs. We learned all about his early days as a punk rocker, making the jump to hardcore, how much he misses playing in Madball and SO much more in these incredible 2 hours of the hardest lore yet.

There's possibly no hardcore today without Vinnie and Agnostic Front's contributions to the genre, and there's certainly no HardLore. They say never meet your heroes.. They've never met Stigma.
