Sick of It All is an American hardcore punk band, from Queens, New York, formed in 1986. Founded by brothers Lou Koller (vocals) and Pete Koller (guitar), Armand Majidi (drums) and Rich Cipriano (bass). They have been known to be a major part of the New York hardcore scene. The band was formed during the era of the major hardcore decline, when many pioneering hardcore bands including Black Flag and Minor Threat disbanded. Sick of It All are now one of the most popular hardcore bands to date.
Miscellaneous
- In 1995, the somewhat dubious German label Lost And Found Records released in Europe only, Spreading The Hardcore Reality and Live In A World Full Of Hate, the latter of which was supposedly recorded live in New Jersey in 1993, but was actually recorded at a chaotic show in Berlin in 1994. This bootleg ruse was created because of the band's contractual obligations at the time.
- Numerous Sick of It All fans have tattoos of the "Alleyway Dragon", the band's official logo. The Dragon is from a sheet of Greg Irons flash. It is not, as some people have claimed, a misappropriated gang symbol, but then the Alleyway Crew was never a gang to begin with. It was, and is, a group of friends. The dragon is a symbol of friendship as well as a way that members would relate who was hanging out at a particular gathering. The "Alleyway" is in a school yard in Flushing, Queens, where the band and all of their friends would gather.
- In the late 90's there was a publicized friction between Sick of It All and the Queens based Hip-Hop group Mobb Deep over the "Alleyway Dragon" logo, both sides claiming precedent over the image. The issue was later resolved and to solidify this both groups collaborated on Loud Records crossover compilation, "Loud Rocks" (2000) on the track "Survival of The Fittest."
- In concert, the band is credited with having their fans mimic the "wall of death" moshing concept, in which the crowd would split into two sides and charge the other at the start of selected songs. Though largely known as a part of the metal culture, Sick of it All is actually credited by some to have invented the wall.
- Toby Morse, a former Sick of It All roadie from suburban Maryland, went on to form the band H2O.
- Former roadie Danny Singer a.k.a Lord Ezec a.k.a. Danny Diablo, went on to form Crown of Thornz, Skarhead, and Icepick and now has started his solo rap career.
- Former Sick of It All, Social Distortion, and L7 roadie Umbar died in early 1995 while on tour with L7.
- The song "Injustice System" is included on the radio station "Liberty City HardCore" (most commonly referred to as L.C.H.C) in the game Grand Theft Auto IV
- The song "Potential for a Fall" is included in the video game True Crime: New York City
