The Mob was a hardcore punk band in NYC, in the early 1980s, and are credited as being "hardcore pioneers" of the era. Amid local press coverage at the time, in which 'hardcore punk' was seen as a violent and threatening alternative to the currently-trendy New Wave style, The Mob released two 7" vinyl EPs on their own 'Mob Style Records', and also appeared on the The Big Apple Rotten To The Core compilation, in 1982 and on vol. 2 in 1987
This 7" (Upset The System) has lots of energy and some unique songs. It's not polished, which is both good and bad I guess. The raw aspect definitely puts it way above their 1986 LP, but I think it would have been better if they were a little tighter... There's some good early NYHC-type stuff on here, specifically "Crucial Point" and "Dr. Butcher".
