HARDCORE GETS OLD

Longevity in hardcore is a rare thing. Black Flag and Minor Threat have been broken up for decades, while groups like Cro-Mags and Dead Kennedys have sporadically revived with curious and even dueling lineups over the years. So last year, when H2O celebrated their fifteenth anniversary, it was a pretty big deal. Yet fellow NYHC figures Sick Of It All have a good ten years on that, with 2011 as their twenty-fifth anniversary year. Daaaaaamn, son!

To celebrate this occasion, SOIA have put together an exclusive concert with a jaw-dropping lineup for fans of hardcore and post-hardcore alike. On March 26, they headline Webster Hall (formerly The Ritz) with Snapcase, Merauder, and Razorblade Handgrenade in the support slots. Tickets are on sale now and, frankly, the reunited Snapcase have enough pull to sell out the venue themselves, so don’t delay in snagging yours.

Check out the video from “Death Or Jail” off SOIA’s awesome 2010 album Based on a True Story.
