Agnostic Front Kickstarting New Documentary "The Godfathers Of Hardcore"

Roger Miret and Vinnie Stigma are lynchpins of New York hardcore and their band Agnostic Front played a key role in defining, shaping, and establishing the cultural code of conduct for the still-thriving movement.

Film and music video director Ian McFarland is crafting an intimate portrait of these two men, dubbed "The Godfathers of Hardcore."

Miret and Stigma have remained close friends through great adversity that often threatened their very existence. Today, Roger and Vinnie are primed and reaching into 50's and 60's, balancing jobs and families, in addition to an upcoming touring schedule that will take them all over the world.

"The Godfathers of Hardcore" will serve as an up-close-and-personal look into the lives of these different yet inseparable musical icons, and in the process will illustrate the tenacity, optimism, and enthusiasm with which they both approach their band to this day. The movie is already in the midst of production and features intimate footage captured by McFarland over the past several years, but to do the story the greatest justice possible, director Ian McFarland is reaching out to the band’s diehard fans, offering them a chance to join in supporting the film via a new Kickstarter campaign here.

The Kickstarter campaign will take place over the course of the next few weeks (ending on May 17th) and features unique incentives such as an ESP Viper-100FM STBLK Guitar with backplate signed by Agnostic Front, custom Vinnie Stigma ringtones, a limited edition Agnostic Front skate deck, a personal Lower East Side tour with Vinnie Stigma, and even a "Kickstarter Executive Producer" credit on the film. The goal is to raise $15,000, and afterwards, some amazing stretch goals will be added.
