Sick Of It All 30th anniversary 9/11/16

One of my favorite bands, Sick Of It All, is celebrating 30 years of NYHC. The lineup for the upstate NY show featured two local (Albany/Troy) bands that are as good as HC gets, Aggressive Response, and Wartime Manner. Friend or Foe from Richmond, VA are a great new HC band to check out, they opened too, along with Comeback Kid. 
 Sick Of It All played a set spanning their 30 year career. Being a long time listener of these guys, I wish I coulda drew up the set list. Safe to say there are a few songs I think are kinda silly and of course, are featured every show. I will call them out; ok I'm sorry, but "Take the Night Off "(to prove that we don't give a fuck)," is a horrible chorus, and silly. DNC, DNC, that song is terrible, Losing War is the jam to be played on that new record. "Sanctuary" is regretful. And there are a ton of floor stompers that could be added instead. A Month Of Sundays, Disillusion, I could go on, Oh, but man, Machete is such a fine tune, what a jammer. And they played "What's Goin' On'' Holy Smokes that fuckin ruled. Pushed Too Far, into Friends Like You is like taking vitamins, or breathing air. Pete was nice enough to drop us a radio spot, and he wasn't too dizzy from all those Bobby Biohazard spins !
Here's some typical HC photos, displaying unity, etc.
