One of the greatest genre-defining hardcore bands of all time, Agnostic Front, has changed the face of music throughout their 25-year-long career. The two records that started it all, United Blood and Victim in Pain, are legendary NYHC releases and some of the most sought after pieces of music for fans and collectors.

On November 17th, 2009, Bridge Nine will release a CD version with both albums combined and additionally, will re-release United Blood on 7” and Victim in Pain on 12” LP. Originally released in 1983, United Blood was Agnostic Front’s first release and was followed shortly thereafter by Victim In Pain in 1984. These albums were a blast of pure New York hardcore that confirmed AF’s status as leaders of the NYHC movement alongside precursors the Cro-Mags and Murphy’s Law. Called "the ultimate document of the New York Hardcore scene" by AllMusic and "New York Hardcore at its finest" by Punknews, vinyl versions of Victim In Pain and United Blood both include printed dust jackets and embossed album covers (with all original artwork available in the inside and the 7" features an exact replica of the original insert from 1983).

To celebrate the re-release of these historical records, AF will be touring the West Coast and Southwest in January - tour dates are below. Please get in touch ASAP if you'd like to set up an interview with Agnostic Front or to set up show previews/reviews. Victim In Pain and United Blood hit stores next Tuesday!
