Agnostic Front is an American hardcore punk rock band from New York City. It was formed by Vinnie Stigma and Roger Miret in 1982, who soon added Ray Barbieri and Adam Moochie to form the original line-up. Their debut EP, United Blood, was released in 1983 on an indie label. It was hardcore and lyrically charged and has become a collector's item.

The follow-up was Victim in Pain (1984), now typically regarded as the band's best LP. Dave Jones replaced Ray Barbieri on drums. The album pushed the band to the forefront of New York's fledgling hardcore scene, which was centered around CBGB's, where they played with bands like The Cro-Mags and Murphy's Law.
