i don't know if this is still felt amongst people not in our world but i'd like to point out something that's bothered me over the years concerning Agnostic Front, i have quite a few friends who are black and every time we talk about music sooner or later it leads to AG and how they feel they where/are a skinhead or simply a racist band and to me that's like saying Ian McKay was a racist because of Minor Threats song "Guilty Of Being White" both never made sense, you only have to read AG's lyrics and you'll immediately realize they where definitely NOT a racist band whatsoever, in fact they where quite the opposite so if anyone out there has ever thought this or still thinks this, consider the myth dispelled.
my thinking about this is that AG's albums had military style lettering, they wore camo's and combat boots.. while this was the attire of the skinhead they only adopted this as their uniform later, the real reason for punk/hardcore/metal dudes jockin' camo's and combat boots is that it was born out of necessity because military surplus camo's and combat boots where cheap and they lasted, plain and simple, that's it.
anyway.. "Turning Point" because hardcore was coming into another evolution of itself and it was most certainly very interesting seeing it happen and the late 80's to early 90's there where a lot of awesome bands finding their way on their own and what was coming through was amazing.
just a quick note tho.. while the bands where going through a transition and evolution if it wasn't for a few new labels also emerging at the time who knows what would have happend because most of the underground labels we loved at the time where still actively searching out thrash and metal related bands, hardcore was just a footnote at the time so a lot of the bands, as do we, owe a debt of gratitude to the newer labels taking chances on what was "becoming" in the hardcore genre in that era.
