The name is synonymous with not only New York Hardcore, but with hardcore and punk rock in general. "The Godfather of Hardcore" has been a pillar of the punk community since the early 80s, when he founded the legendary Agnostic Front. As a member of Agnostic Front, then Madball, then back to Agnostic Front, he's played guitar on countless, classic records. With "New York Blood," his first solo record, Vinny steps to the forefront.
"New York Blood" is chock full of punk rock anthems that will have people pounding beers and singing along after the first listen!
What started as a conversation between Vinnie Stigma and Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed) on tour back in 2003, has materialized into a modern punk rock classic and full band (featuring Mike Gallo, Agnostic Front). "New York Blood" was produced by Jamey Jasta and Phil Caivano (former guitarist of Monster Magnet, who also engineered and played guitar on the record) and was mixed and mastered by Zeus (Hatebreed, Agnostic Front, Shadow's Fall).
