Agnostic Front have been at this for over four decades, and “You Say” proves they haven’t lost a single degree of intensity. The new lyric video is out now for the track lifted from their latest album ‘Echoes In Eternity,’ and it hits exactly the way you’d expect from one of hardcore’s most uncompromising founding forces. Gang vocals, charging guitars, thundering drums, and a message that doesn’t flinch.
Vocalist Roger Miret doesn’t mince words about where the song comes from: “‘You Say’ is a war cry against the normalization of corruption and empty promises. Whether it be governments, corporations, or straight up con artists, they all have the same interests. Their own. Our message has always been and will be ‘F**k you’ to these entities, and to hold them accountable.” That’s Agnostic Front in a sentence, and it’s been that way since 1982.
‘Echoes In Eternity’ reaffirms everything that made this band essential from the start. Roger Miret’s inimitable roar and Vinnie Stigma’s legendary guitar work remain as vital as ever, channeling the raw street-level energy of New York’s Lower East Side that sparked an entire genre. The band that helped build New York hardcore and crossover thrash is still operating at full force.
