Ep. 222: Pete Koller discusses Sick Of It All's "Injustice System!"

In this episode, guitarist Pete Koller of Sick Of It All dives deep into the writing, recording, and inspiration behind the band's classic fan favorite song "Injustice System!" This enduring anthem was born from a violent run-in with crooked law enforcement in the late '80s, and it continues to resonate long after the events that inspired it. Pete shares stories of the band’s early studio experiences, highlighting the intimidation even New York hardcore musicians can feel in the recording environment. He reflects on the instinctual songwriting decisions made by a young band and notes how Sick Of It All stayed true to the original arrangement when they re-recorded the song decades later. Tune in for a walk back through time and into the mind of a hardcore legend.
