The Mob was an early 1980s hardcore punk band from Astoria, New York, 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.Singer Jack Flanagan later managed the ska-core Boston band "Mighty, Mighty Bosstones."
