Amazon.co.uk Review
Having formed back in 1982, as Zoo Crew, New York's Agnostic Front have a genuine right to consider themselves the godfathers of hardcore. And Dead Yuppies, their 10th album (and third for Epitaph), sees them at their raging, relentless, wholly simplistic best. While other punk bands have embraced rap, industrial and metal, AF have stayed true to the New York sound of the mid to late-70s. Vinnie Stigma's riffs, like the Ramones', are short, sharp, utterly to-the-point, and occasionally interrupted by a howling Johnny Thunders-style solo. Roger Miret's vocals are rough and snotty, recalling Stiv Bators of the Dead Boys (formed in Cleveland, sure, but quick to relocate to the Big Apple). Song titles such as "Politician", "Pedophile" and "Dead Yuppies" are clear indicators of the band's raison d'etre. They rail against injustice in general, and corrupt powerbrokers in particular. And, like so many punks, they snipe at those who ignore "proper" music ("Club Girl"), while revelling in their own unpopularity ("Love to be Hated"). Above all, they loudly espouse personal freedom, openly demanding liberty or death (though who actually makes that decision is anyone's guess). Agnostic Front are survivors, gaining strength from their refusal to change. If you don't like them already, you probably never will. --Dominic Wills
CD Description
'Dead Yuppies' is the tenth album release from New York punkers Agnostic Front, and their third for the Epitaph label. Blending the sounds of street punk, modern day hardcore, andlyrics relating to everyday problems, the Agnostic Front sound is hard and brutal.
