Numerous iconic bands from Metallica to Green Day, and individuals such as Dave Grohl have credited Cro-Mags with having had a primal influence on their development. Born out of the violence and depravity of the Lower East Side of New York in the late 70s and early 80s, the Cro-Mags was the brainchild of a very young Harley Flanagan (at the time 14 years old) when still playing with the Stimulators. By 1982/83 he wrote and recorded the very first Cro-Mags demos consisting of 4 songs that would become the blueprint for the seminal 1986 “Age of Quarrel.” He wrote all of the music, played each instrument and sang. Before long he connected with Parris Mayhew and the two started writing music and auditioning band members. After several line-ups, 5 studio albums (beyond the original demos) and 30 + years of tours around the world, Cro-Mags remains one of the most iconic hardcore bands with arguably the greatest reach beyond the genre. Why now? In Harley’s words: “Lemmy came to me in a dream and said, ‘Take it back mate, it’s yours, you started it.’ The fact is, I never legally lost the name Cro-Mags, others were using it without my permission, while I was raising my kids. An agreement was struck with the previous members and I regained full control over the name worldwide. Now with an amazing line up and 2 record deals I am moving forward. I have a great team of people behind me; I have never felt stronger, better or more creative.” In 2019 Cro-Mags signed with Victory Records and Arising Empire and released the “From The Grave” single, consisting of the tracks: “Don’t Give In,” “Drag You Under,” and “No One’s Victim.” Harley: These lyrics are meant to inspire and kick you in the ass when you need it. Some might not take them that way, but that’s my intention. Sometimes you need someone to tell you to man-the-fuck-up, or woman-up, cause life ain’t easy and you will get crushed if you don’t. I wrote them more for myself than anyone else, cause sometimes I need to hear these things, as I think we all do. Some of them were inspired by loss, the loss of friends, by suicide, cancer, struggling with depression, mortality and ultimately the beauty of life. You have to be able to recognize it, even when you’re suffering and struggling. Although we all fight our own personal battles, and they vary, none of us are alone in the fact that we have to fight our battles, and many of them we must fight alone. In that way, we all have something in common, besides needing basic things like food water and shelter. We also must learn how to cope with struggle and mortality. Some rise to the top while others crash and burn. The singles and album feature, along with Harley Flanagan, Gabby Abularach (Gil Evans Orchestra, amongst many other projects) who played on Cro-Mags’ “Alpha Omega” (1992) and “Near Death Experience” (1993); Rocky George (formerly of Suicidal Tendencies and Fishbone) who played on Cro-Mags’ “Revenge” (2000); and ” Gary “GMan” Sullivan (who has played with everyone from the B-52’s, Berny Worrel of Parliament Funkadelic, TM Stevens etc.), who joined Cro-Mags in the 90s Artist Cro-Mags Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Arising Empire Buying Options 1LP Gatefold Sleeve Format 1LP , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country UK Track Listings Side A: 1.Don’t Give In 2.Drag You Under 3.No One’s Victim 4.From The Grave (feat Phil Campbell) 5.No One’s Coming 6.PTSD Side B: 1.The Final Test 2.One Bad Decision 3.Two Hours 4.Don’t Talk About It 5.Between Wars 6.No Turning Back 7.There Was A Time Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Cro-Mags and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Cro-Mags The Age of Quarrel Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Astor Place | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd June 2023 £22.00 - £23.00 Select options Cro-Mags The Age of Quarrel £22.00 - £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Astor Place Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd June 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Cro-Mags Best Wishes Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Astor Place | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd June 2023 £22.00 - £23.00 Select options Cro-Mags Best Wishes £22.00 - £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Astor Place Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd June 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Two Door Cinema Club Game Show Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Parlophone | 2LP, 7", Includes Download Code Released 14th October 2016 £38.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Two Door Cinema Club Game Show £38.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Parlophone SKU: 0190295936686 Formats: 2LP, 7", Includes Download Code Released Date: 14th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fucked Up Year of the Hare Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Deathwish Inc. | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th May 2024 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fucked Up Year of the Hare £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Deathwish Inc.
