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

If Volume 1 was the lesson, Volume 2 is the proof, more evidence that the Cro-Mags were operating on a different frequency to everyone else in the New York hardcore scene and that the full story of that era has never quite been told properly on wax until now.

Hard Times In The Age Of Quarrel collects the raw material around the Age Of Quarrel sessions, the demos, the alternates, the bones of one of hardcore's most visceral and important records. This is NYHC crossover thrash before the genre had a name for itself, Harley Flanagan and company channeling street-level aggression through a Hare Krishna lens in a way that shouldn't work and absolutely does. Volume 2 fills in the gaps for anyone who already wore out their copy of the first set, and for anyone coming in fresh, this is essential archaeology of the New York underground.
