CRO-MAGS

Forty years ago, alongside Agnostic Front, Cro-Mags helped lay the foundation of American hardcore punk. Legendary yet rife with feuds, their impact began in the early ’80s. Influential albums The Age of Quarrel (1986) and Best Wishes (1989) fused hardcore with thrash. After legal battles, Harley Flanagan reclaimed the name in 2019.
