Harley Flanagan, Founder of the incendiary hardcore punk band, the Cro-Mags has put pen to paper and shares true stories about life on the original punk scene in New York City. His story is rife with a cast of notables woven in and out at the most seminal moments in New York punk history and beyond.

Flanagan began his career as a child prodigy drumming at Max's Kansas City for the Stimulators then bounced through the lower east side music scene on a hellish trajectory of sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll. Flanagan formed his band, the Cro-Mags, distilling his hard-won street and musical knowledge into a undeniable Hardcore force of nature.

Flanagan tells his stories of the famous and the infamous as no one else can ... or will.

"Harley Flanagan's incredible story is not just the history of New York hardcore, of which he is a founding father, but a history of New York itself. It's all here, an amazing series of unlikely coincidences, catastrophes, accomplishments, and associations. Chances are if it happened in New York and it was important and interesting? Harley Flanagan was somewhere in the room. If you care anything about music history, punk rock, hardcore or just a ripping good story, this is the punch in the face you want and need." - Anthony Bourdain

A book signing will be held on Tuesday, September 27th 7-9pm at Manitoba's, 90 Avenue B, NYC.
