The Bottleneck 

Hardcore veterans Sick of It All hold a special place in my heart. The first hardcore album I ever bought was the band’s 1997 release, Built to Last (followed shortly by Scratch the Surface and Minor Threat’s compete discography). I might be overselling it a bit when I say that they were welcomed like gods when vocalist Lou Koller greeted the crowd. But it’s not exaggerating to claim that when Sick of It All opened with “Good Lookin’ Out,” the first song on Built to Last, there was an instant rush in the crowd toward the front of the Bottleneck.
