Cro Mags - Age Of Quarrel Demo

[@bernardoantelo4763]

I like this more than the album, bass sounds amazing.

[@skinheadyouth66]

Definitely better

[@skinheadyouth66]

This was obtained in 1985. Still kicks ass fucking 39 years later

[@slackerbarny]

Love the rawness of it. I actually got this on vinyl somewhere. It's a limited pressing.

[@josephsinsalot]

Demos and live performances are where it’s at! Overproduction is for the birds….. grand post!

[@HalJikaKick]

I loved this demo when I was 16. (1986) Finally got to see them when they opened for Anthrax at the Beacon Theatre NYC

[@skinheadyouth66]

Never cared for anthrax or the ny heavy metal crossover but hmmmm this is skinhead hardcore. Weird right????

[@stinkytrouble]

Can you elaborate on the latter half there?

[@michaelscondotto8122]

GOAT HC demo.

[@matthewvaneyk4679]

If this had been released as the official debut album Age of Quarrel would be close to if not as highly regarded as the Bad Brains ROIR cassette and not just an early artifact of above average crossover thrash.

[@gobblegobble831]

That's a deliberate mischaracterization of how people feel about AoQ. I agree that this is better, but many consider the final product of AoQ to be the GOAT hardcore album-not just above average crossover

[@matthewvaneyk4679]

@@gobblegobble831 To each his/her own but AoQ is a crossover thrash/hardcore album. The only difference between the Cro-Mags of this era and bands like DRI, Cryptic Slaughter, Excel etc. is that the Cro-Mags kept the appearance of an early 80s hardcore punk band as opposed to growing their hair out which they later did. The music, which I enjoy, undeniably has all the characteristics of a crossover thrash band.
