When an ambiguously intentioned masked man kidnaps the drug addicted front woman of a punk band, it triggers a police investigation as well as a media circus. “Our film deals with addiction, living a life of stardom, the 24-hour news cycle, and what it means to come from a broken home, all seen through the prism of Punk Rock.” – Josh Roush (the director).
September 26th-28th: Agnostic Front’s Roger Miret will be doing guided tours and a book signing
The Punk Rock Museum is proud to welcome Roger Miret, frontman of the legendary Agnostic Front, for a special weekend of guided tours on September 26th–28th. Miret will be signing copies of his acclaimed book, ‘With Time: The Roger Miret Archives’, from 2:45 PM to 3:30 PM on Saturday, September 27th.
This book signing will be the official launch of the 3rd edition softcover, along with a limited number of 2nd edition hardcovers, a perfect opportunity for collectors and fans to grab a piece of hardcore history. Both editions will be available exclusively at the museum that weekend.
Visitors will have the rare opportunity to experience personal, guided tours of the museum from Miret himself, offering firsthand insight into the hardcore scene he helped shape.
Co-authored by Roger Miret and Todd Huber, ‘With Time’ is an immersive visual and oral history that dives deep into the gritty streets of 1980s New York City and the birth of the hardcore movement. Spanning the years 1982–1986, the book showcases the evolution of Agnostic Front, from the band’s earliest shows to their pivotal albums— ‘United Blood’, ‘Victim in Pain’, and ‘Cause for Alarm’.
Featuring never-before-seen photos, flyers, and Miret’s personal stories, ‘With Time’ is both a tribute and a time capsule of the band’s formative years and their monumental impact on the New York Hardcore scene.
“These are some of my archives that I have cherished my whole life,” said Miret. “A time capsule of an era where life presented the darkest days of my life with light at the other end of the tunnel… that colorful rose was my life, my soul growing and reaching my maximum being and my purpose and path in life.”
