When it comes to New York City hardcore, its community proudly boasts Lou and Pete Kollerâ€”brothers who have dominated the scene worldwide since 1986 with the aurally devastating Sick of It All as their vehicle.

For Flushing, Queens natives Lou and Pete Koller, hardcore has become a lifestyle as well as an unlikely career. From the moment these siblings began applying their abilities to punkâ€™s angrier, grimier sub-genre, they quickly became fifty percent of one of the most intense and compelling quartets to ever claim the movementâ€”the legendary New York hardcore band, Sick of it All.
