CRO-MAGS: Hard Times In The Age Of Quarrel Volume 1 Vinyl 2LP

Before the lawsuits, before the reunions, before Harley Flanagan stabbed two people at a gig, there was just the Cro-Mags, and they were terrifying.

Hard Times in the Age of Quarrel is the document of a band that basically invented the blueprint for NYHC crossover, and then watched a hundred bands spend the next four decades trying to catch up. This isn't a rarities collection for completists only, it's essential context for anyone who wants to understand how hardcore punk absorbed thrash metal and came out the other side sounding like a fistfight in a subway tunnel. The original Age of Quarrel is one of the most influential punk records ever recorded. Volume 1 of this expanded set covers the terrain with the weight it deserves across two full slabs of vinyl.

Double LP, 2x12-inch format. Standard black vinyl. Imported from the US.
