John Joseph of The Cro-Mags at Debonair Music Hall March 9, 2018
New York Hardcore legends were in the building at Teaneck, New Jersey’s Debonair Music Hall last week. Cro-Mags featuring original members John Joseph and Mackie Jayson along with Craig Ahead (Sick Of It All) and A.J. Novello (Leeway) started off a tour in The Garden State which will see them joining forces with EYEHATEGOD later in the month and hitting stages all across the southern states, midwest and up and down the east coast. Openers at the Teaneck show included Jersey hardcore bands Threat 2 Society and Wastelands. Both bands did a splendid job getting the crowd warmed up with fists flying and bodies moving. The big dudes in the house responded with big sasquatch stomps and juggernaut bum rushes to the stage. The Wastelands set was noticeably short due to 2 new members still having to learn all of the band’s songs. Keep practicing…super psyched to see the band in full force next time! Both bands sounded tremendous but Razorblade Handgrenade from Newark, NJ got the crowd forming circle pits and even more hyped with positive, high-energy songs straight outta Brick City. They been in this game for years (decade plus) and RBHG still put on a phenomenal set and be on the look out for their new album…Til The Casket Drops. Cro-Mags capped off the evening with a set that mostly featured crossover thrash from their first album, The Age Of Quarrel. John Joseph paced the stage like a maniac and shared the stage with veterans of the hardcore scene, mean mugging and bringing the fury. They played one song, “Crush The Demoniac” off their second album, Best Wishes and back to back Bad Brains covers with “Right Brigade” and “Attitude” which got the stage divers amped up. Definitely check out the Cro-Mags when they play a venue near you. If you live in the NYC area, they’ll be playing Knitting Factory in Brooklyn on April 7. In the meantime, check out some videos below. Be safe and keep living with that Positive Mental Attitude!
