The Cro-Mags are coming to Arizona. For some that is all I need to say but for those of you who may not be familiar here is a quick history lesson. The Cro-Mags started in the mid 80s and have always been (at least to me) one of the best bands to come out of the world famous New York Hardcore scene of the era. The first time I heard “Age of Quarrel” I remember being absolutely blown away and being surprised at how much this band is still being emulated today.

Although the current line-up has changed conderably since the bands inception original vocalist John Joseph and supporting members from bands like Sick Of It All and Leeway are currently carrying the torch and ensuring that a whole new generation will get to experience true New York grit. The supporting cast for what will undoubtably a insane show includes Los Angeles natives Alpha & Omega, and local acts Out For Revenge and Life In Chains. The show is happening on March 10th at the Clubhouse.
