The Mob are a hardcore punk band from New York, formed in 1980. After being exposed to hardcore through a Bad Brains show at CBGB, the band started playing harder and faster, moving away from the sound of the first wave of New York City punk rock bands.
The band continued until 1991, when they went on a hiatus that would last nearly 20 years, with only a handful of shows and releases. In 2011 The Mob reunited to play live shows and record new music once again.
