INTRO BUST
Welcome to DOUBLE CROSS - an online fanzine dedicated to the hardcore we love... past, present, and future. The goal is classic fanzine vibe and content, with stories, interviews, photos and more - updated every day through the week. While this might be a "blog," we want it to go beyond what that term typically represents.
And while we are undoubtedly straight edge and will put the best straight edge bands at the heart of this site, in no way does that mean we won't be featuring all of of our other favorite hardcore bands here as well.
Check out the below links for more info on us, as well as what we have been putting up here since beginning construction in March '08. Get in touch if you wanna contribute or just say what's up.

THANX:
We would like to give thanks and credit to Ken Salerno, Tim Singer / Boiling Point, Dave Sine and all the other photographers that have graced the pages of Double Cross. We could not do this with out you, so thank you very much for your contributions.
Big thanks also to some of our regular contributors, people like Joe Nelson, Billy Rubin, Agent A, Tony Rettman, Jordan Cooper, Larry Ransom, etc. All have been huge assets to Double Cross and we greatly appreciate all your help, effort and time.
Also, we'd like to give thanks to Ed McKirdy over at Livewire Records for lending his help and support to this project.

I find Harley a fascinating person....Ginsberg, Warhol, Strummer, Bad Brains, Minor Threat...dude was around for a lot of cultural happenings.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he saw a lot. Too bad he's still a fucking idiot.
ReplyDeletealso Jimmy Gestapo hanging in the back
ReplyDeleteHe is kind of an idiot, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteNOT ONLY AN IDIOT BUT A COMPLETE EGO-CASE.
ReplyDeleteyeah!!!!!!!! what a complete idiot, douchebag! who does that guy think he is?? raising his kids, being a dad and a little pissy that john joseph is banking the cro-mags name without him. damn him!! especially his use of the CAPS-LOCK when speaking, total idiot.
ReplyDeleteHaHa... Live and Let live. Regardless he's still a legend and been in it since he was a kid. Respect due. He probably did more shit by the age 14 then most of you assholes reading this can accomplish in your whole lifetime. Respect the past and keep it moving. The Cro-Mags are still fucking great with or with out! *John Joseph and Mackie get that dough!
ReplyDeleteCro-Mags never did anything for me (I prefer some Brains), but Harley is a fucking character and he makes me LOL.
ReplyDeleteI sent Harley a Chorus 7" to the Rock House or Profile label PO Box one time in 92ish, expecting nothing. Just wanted at least one of those dude's to have it, explaining how they were a huge influence, yadda yadda. No more than 2 weeks later I got a letter back on Cro Mags stationary hand written by Harley stating how hard the 7" was, and was not something he expected from a Cali band, with all the posi-ness coming from Cali. He asked if I could send a few more (which I assume he wanted to sell) so I sent him 2 more and never heard from him again.
ReplyDeleteIt was super classy of him to take the time to give me props in a hand written letter.
He is a personality and a NYC staple, and a fucking shredder on the bass.
The Cro Mags issues between him and JJ are theirs alone. I would like to see a 1. MMA fight between them, then a 2. Endurance challenge then 3. A set of each version of their Cro Mag incarnations. Best 2 out of three wins. Bury the hatchet come on tour with all original members and get paid and stoke the scene out.
Get that PMA boys, and let's do this.
