Cro-Mags are an American hardcore punk band from New York City. The band, which has a strong cult following, has released six studio albums, with the first two considered the most influential. With a Hare Krishna background,^[3] they were among the first bands to fuse hardcore punk with thrash metal.

In April 2019, founding member Harley Flanagan reached a settlement with former singer John Joseph and former drummer Mackie Jayson in which Flanagan would retain exclusive rights to the Cro-Mags name while Joseph and Jayson would move forward under the name, Cro-Mags "JM".^[4]^[5]
