  • Finally; some authenticity…

    If you are sick and tired of “Punk” podcasts that are little more than over-educated millennials awkwardly reading you the Buzzcocks’ Wikipedia entry, this is the antidote.

    Unpretentious, unfiltered commentary from participants, NOT spectators. More of this, please.

The HARLEY FLANAGAN Interview
Q: Do you feel different from other hardcore kids who come from good families?

The HARLEY FLANAGAN Interview
Q: How much of a conscious choice was it for the Cro-Mags to bridge punk and metal?

It's actually going to start its theater run on June 15th at the Roxy Cinema in New York City.
