A very sad day today, as we've lost one of the greatest to ever do it, Lou Koller of @SOIANYC.
Sick of it All was representing hardcore on a global scale long before and long after many bands had come and gone. They were, and ARE genuine trailblazers all while being incredibly kind to the bands they crossed paths with and helped grow along the way. Lou's legacy & impact on punk, hardcore and music overall will be eternal.
I don't know that I would be here today without discovering the Step Down video as a child, which was a major milestone that made my brother and I want to dive deeper into hardcore. Thank you Lou, thank you Sick of it All. Rest in peace.

Sadly David Johansen of the incredibly influential New York Dolls died today. They were so ahead of their time. Too Much Too Soon indeed. They were very important to me and my friends in the early 80’s Seattle music scene. My band Shadow loved them and their wild clothes. They seemed free and dangerous while playing loud rock and roll. David Johansen at the helm - a singer with great attitude and Johnny Thunders on guitar were great templates for the young bands of Seattle in the early 80’s like Overlord, The Trids, Lipstick, Green River and of course Shadow.
Check out “Personality Crisis,” “Trash” or “Jet Boy.”
Rest in Glam, David Johansen.
