Legendary New York hardcore band SICK OF IT ALL will celebrate its thirtieth anniversary by releasing "When The Smoke Clears" on November 4 via Century Media Records. The effort includes five brand new tracks as well as rare photos and iconic shots from their past and present.
SICK OF IT ALL guitarist Pete Koller told Out Of Step fanzine about the band's anniversary: "Thirty years … well, it was fun. I would not say an achievement because we never really wanted to achieve something. We just kept on playing. There are also no regrets. What's done is done and if you fucked something up back then, so what?" As for the secret to SICK OF IT ALL's longevity, Pete said: "There is no secret on how to keep doing what you do for thirty years. We never said that we are going to do this or that … we just kept on playing. When we came along, it seemed to be the perfect time for our SICK OF IT ALL style of hardcore.
