And while the band would be riddled with various line-up changes and more commotion than necessary, its founding member Harley Flanagan has been flying the flag for New York hardcore and its scene for nearly half a century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/capitalchaostv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/cro-mags-approved-mathieu-bredeau.jpeg?w=700\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"481\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-23256\">Photo by Mathieu Bredeau<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At present, Cro-Mags personnel list includes Harley Flanagan (bass, vocals), Christian Lawrence (drums), Dave Sharpe (guitar), and Dominic DiBenedetto (guitar).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while Flanagan would find himself embroiled in a lengthy trial over the band\u2019s moniker, it was decided in April 2019 that he would eventually reach a settlement with former Cro-Mags members John Joseph (vocals) and Mackie Jayson (drums) that Flanagan would now retain the name and its trademark. Harley would soon receive a permanent injunction against his former members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their latest album \u2013 \u2018In The Beginning\u2019 \u2013 signaled a return to form even though released after a 20 year wait back in 2020. Since then, Flanagan and company have toured both in North America and Europe and with great results. Additionally, they also issued a three-song EP in 2019 featuring Mot\u00f6rhead guitarist Phil Campbell appropriately dubbed \u2018From The Grave,\u2019 which was the precursor to their long-awaited full-length. The band also issued even more new music with a six-song EP in 2020 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, Cro-Mags were forced to live stream a free performance from SIR studios as their big show with Body Count at Webster Hall in New York was canceled due to COVID restrictions back in March 2020. However, the event was an online success and one of the first of its kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans will be pleased to know Harley and company are in the middle of a lengthy US tour which will see the band co-headlining large capacity rooms with New York\u2019s Helmet. Starting on April 14th in Michigan, the bands will criss-cross the country eventually ending on May 19th in Ohio.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/capitalchaostv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/helmet-tour-poster.jpg?w=654\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23259\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Cro-Mags play Goldfield Trading Post located at 238 Vernon Street in Roseville.
