Gang Green: We’ll Give It To You, 4CD Box Set Review

3rd February 2023 0 By Jon Deaux

Gang Green is an American hardcore band formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1981. This 4 CD box set covers the albums from 1987 through to 1991 that were issued via the Roadrunner label.

Their second album You Got It and their first release via Roadrunner, showcased the band in a more melodic and accessible light, but still very much Gang Green.

As can be heard on the live CD Can’t LIVE Without It the band were still very much rooted in the hardcore scene but hinged on the budding thrash metal scene of the time.

The pièce de résistance is the 4th disc which features a compilation, 2 re-recorded tracks and 3 tracks from their mighty debut ‘Another Wasted Night’
If you’re a fan of Tankard, Dropkick Murphys and even Biohazard then this box set is definitely for you.

There are extensive liner notes throughout the enclosed booklet which is a lovely little touch.

Score 9/10
