Bondi, Vic -& His Issues-
Vic Bondi & His Issues (red)
The title of Vic Bondi's 27th release, Vic Bondi And His Issues, might come off as self-deprecation but in reality, it's closer to diagnosis. Nearly four decades after helping define politically literate American hardcore, Bondi is less interested in nostalgia than in accountability: personal, historical, and national. Following the 1985 breakup of Articles of Faith, Bondi spent time in Jones Very and Alloy, and later fronted both Report Suspicious Activity (feat. J Robbins of Jawbox), Dead Ending (with Derek Grant of Alkaline Trio and Joe Principe of Rise Against), and Tom Morello's Weatherman. In 2019 Bondi formed "surf band for the apocalypse" Redshift, who's most recent release, Chaos As Planned, came out 2025.
