New York hardcore pioneers Cro-Mags have announced their plans to release a new record in 2011.
The current all-star lineup of the seminal hardcore act, featuring vocalist John Joseph, guitarist AJ Novella (Leeway), bassist Craig "Ahead" Setari (Sick Of It All) and drummer Mackie Jayson (Bad Brains, Madball, Hazen Street) are aiming for a new full-length release sometime next year.
The studio album will be the band's first since 2000's "Revenge", which Cro-Mags recorded without Joseph. The prodigal frontman, whose last record with the band was 1993's "Near Death Experience", commented on the upcoming release, stating that "we are looking to release something next year. We always just roll with the punches. We want to release something with this line-up. My philosophy is: I don't talk about shit; I just do it."
"When it's getting ready to come out you will hear about it. That's what I did with my books. I just wrote a film. There is no need to "big-talk" something. I think everybody knows what to expect, so when it's getting ready to come out people will hear about it."
