Still spiraling into depression whenever you think of the eternal embarrassment you felt while being forced to take a shit atop the exposed towering throne in CBGB’s men’s room during a Sunday matinee? Cheer up, Skin! Because it’s the holidays on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, and your favorite New York Hardcore legends have reunited for a once-in-a-lifetime yuletide compilation album!

In the vein of Revelation’s The Way It Is and Blackout’s Where the Wild Things Are comes Wreaths of Hate: Making the LES Great Again. The album, brought to you via Whiteboy Bomboclat Records, will consist of 19 OG holiday tracks (along with two new promo songs from Agnostic Front’s upcoming EP, “Crucified, Again.”) WOH will be released as an LP with the first 100 copies being pressed on literal candy cane. The drop date is set for “When Porcell breaks edge.” Bust it!

Through tireless and disgusting reporting and some seriously hard thinking, The Shocker got ahold of the tracklist for this seminal holiday release. We’ll be reviewing each and every one of these tracks in painstaking and agonizing detail in the days and weeks to come, but for now, see below!

  1. Crown of Thornz — “We Three Kingz”
  2. Madball — “Decorative Manger Scenes”
  3. Cro-Mags — “Don’t Sled on Me”
  4. Sheer Terror — “Just Can’t Bake Enough”
  5. H2O — “Don’t Forget the Frankincense, Don’t Forget the Myrrh”
  6. Gorilla Biscuits — “Biscuit Flour”
  7. Skarhead — “Point Setta”
  8. Sick of It All — “G.I. Joe (brand new, still in box, same-day shipping) Headstomp”
  9. Youth of Today — “Blitzen-gage”
  10. Agnostic Front — “Rudolph > Giuliani”
  11. Icepick — “Jingle Bellz”
  12. Quicksand — “Skinny Eggnog Lattes (They’re Overflowing)”
  13. Agnostic Front — “Plum Pudding’s My Christmas and Christmas is Fine”
  14. Outburst — “24,901.461 Miles To Go”
  15. Leeway — “Defy Yule”
