SICK OF IT ALL

Wake The Sleeping Dragon

CENTURY MEDIA NY’s hardcore punk heroes keep their furnace fully stoked When talking about veteran bands the phrase ‘They’ve never sounded better’ gets bandied around a lot. It’s usually nonsense, and Sick Of It All should be held up as a barometer of what actually refusing to age, slow down or lose any of the fire that made your early years so vital actually sounds like. Once more they’ve delivered a set of utterly raging and totally inspiring hardcore. What often gets overlooked with Sick Of It All is the fact that this isn’t just onedimensional hardcore punk. Bull’s Anthem goes full Dropkick Murphy’s punch-drunk bar room singalong, and Always

With Us is a brilliant and emotionally stirring half time chugged ode to lost friends. So, although they might have sounded better on, say, Scratch The Surface,

Sick Of It All have always sounded better than 99% of their peers… and they still do.
