Formed by brothers Lou and Pete Koller in the mid-'80s, Sick of It All became a seminal band in the New York City hardcore scene. While remaining true to their roots, and without compromising style, Sick of It All have progressed from an indie band with a strong live following to a major-label act touring with the likes of Helmet and Rancid. Sick of It All remains a vital influence on the hardcore scene. They released Built to Last in early 1997 to critical acclaim and an expanding audience.
