Cro-Mags
Cro-Mags defined New York hardcore’s crossover era, fusing the raw speed of punk with the power of metal. At the center was Harley Flanagan—playing clubs by age 11, raised in the East Village punk scene, and living in squats before most kids hit high school. Their landmark album The Age of Quarrel captured that energy: street-born, brutally tight, and driven by a mix of survival instinct and spiritual fire. A soundtrack for chaos with purpose.
