The Film: What's that, you wondered aloud? Another documentary on hardcore punk? Do we really need another documentary? The answer is, of course, a resounding yes...with the OG scenesters dropping left and right, and the somewhat incomplete status of past documentary...

It's pretty safe to say that NYC's Mike Gallo lives and breathes hardcore. As a member of premier NYHC group Agnostic Front for well over ten years, Mike has laid down the heavy bass groove found on all of their albums since 2001's "Dead Yuppies". With the band's newly-released album, "The American Dream Died" receiving solid reviews worldwide, it seemed like a good time for Rock! Shock! Pop! to have a chat with Mike and get his take on the band, the album, the tours, and the state...

The Film: It had been around for ages, but for me, it really started sometime around 1983; I got my first real-life stereo with an actual, honest-to-goodness turntable. And though in hindsight, it was a piece of garbage, the seed was planted when I was ...

LA's cock-rock monsters dominated the airwaves with their teased hair and lipstick, and just like the seventies, the focus was again on tight pants and guitar solos. Met...

The first time that I heard X was during a late-night viewing of “The Decline of Western Civilization”. It would be accurate to say that they didn't make much of an impression on me; my mentality was fuelled by a new-found love for hardcore punk, and X's brand of aggressive rock 'n' roll...
