Hamilton County • March 17, 2025
Good morning, Hamilton County. After four decades of stage-diving and mosh pits, hardcore legends Agnostic Front proved they haven't lost a step during their electrifying sold-out show at Madison Live. Frontman Roger Miret and guitarist Vinnie Stigma delivered the same raw energy that first put them on the map, even jumping into the pit themselves—a testament to the enduring spirit of a genre that refuses to fade quietly.
While Agnostic Front celebrates 40 years of hardcore history, Newport's Tom Fromme is earning well-deserved recognition after his own impressive 44-year career. The retired city manager received meetNKY's prestigious Proof award for transforming the region with developments like Newport Aquarium and Hofbrauhaus. For a different kind of immersive experience, Cincinnati's new Titanic exhibition brings the ill-fated vessel to life with over 300 artifacts and reconstructed rooms—no iceberg warnings necessary.

🤘 Hardcore legends Agnostic Front unleashed 40 years of raw energy. The veteran band electrified Madison Live with their relentless sound, drawing a sold-out crowd into constant mosh pits and stage diving. Frontman Roger Miret's impassioned delivery paired perfectly with guitarist Vinnie Stigma's intense presence, even joining fans in the pit mid-set. Murphy's Law opened the night with their own blistering performance, creating what their singer called a wilder show than their previous night in Pittsburgh. The evening culminated in a thunderous encore that proved why these hardcore pioneers remain vital after four decades.
🏆 Newport's Tom Fromme honored with prestigious tourism award after 44-year career.
