It's a poignant reminder that some bands are so deeply woven into their members' identities that the music becomes bigger than any one person. Lou Koller's insistence that Sick of It All carry on speaks to the kind of dedication that builds a loyal fanbase over decades. The sort of thing our listeners respect. When a founding member passes, there's always that question of whether the project should continue, but hearing that Lou himself wanted the band to keep fighting is a powerful endorsement. That's the spirit we'd want to see from any artist who's given so much to their craft and their community.
