Roger Miret and Agnostic Front guitarist Vinnie Stigma will be featured in a documentary called The Godfathers of Hardcore (due out 2017). We will work with the filmmaker and cross-promote.
The book includes color and black-and-white photos throughout of Roger Miret and Agnostic Front throughout their career.
Despite his childhood struggles in a poor, broken family as a Cuban immigrant and his tumultuous adulthood, Miret's story is one of perseverance, courage, and, ultimately, redemption.
Miret was born in Cuba. Miret recounts speaking Spanish to New York gangs to keep the peace and bonding with Latinos in prison. His story is a Cuban-American success story that will appeal to Hispanic readers.
This is the definitive insider telling of the volatile New York hardcore scene on the Lower East Side in the 1980s. It's filled with danger, violence, squatting, drinking, drugs, and, of course, bruising, abrasive music. In the 1980s Lower East Side, organized crime ruled the streets and drug trafficking, homelessness, and urban decay were all around.
Miret and Agnostic Front are pioneers and legends of New York hardcore, influencing nearly half of the New York hardcore music ever released.
Agnostic Front has over 485,000 fans on Facebook and 81,000 on Twitter.
