New York, United States (1986 – present)

Sick Of It All is a band formed by brothers Lou Koller (vocals) and Pete Koller (guitar) in 1986.

Hailing from the borough of Queens in New York City, Sick Of It All was formed alongside NYHC bands Straight Ahead, and Rest In Pieces which both featured Arman Majidi and current Sick Of It All bass player Craig Setari. Majidi joined forces with the Koller brothers and Rich Cipriano to record the Sick Of It All demo in 1986, after original bassist Mark McNielly and drummer David Lamb didn’t find their musical footing. The band began to play Sunday afternoon matinees at renowned hardcore venue CBGB’s, occasionally sharing the bill with Straight Ahead or Rest In Pieces, and soon after released a self-titled 7” on Revelation Records (which was later re-issued on the tenth anniversary of its release, in 1997).

The band released their first full-length, Blood, Sweat And No Tears on Relativity Records in 1989, which rapidly became an underground classic. Their follow-up, the legendary Just Look Around released in 1992, confirmed the band as the flag-bearer for a new era of hardcore. It also heralded European and Japanese tours, a significant line-up change and the chance to sign for a major record label.

Amidst cries of ‘sell-out’ from fickle fans and under pressure from misguided music executives to rival the success of bands like Rancid and The Offspring, Sick Of It All released their heaviest record to date on major label EastWest Records, in the form of 1994’s Scratch The Surface.
