HARLEY FLANAGAN: "Wired For Chaos" (sealed Blu-ray/DVD copy) (November 11th, 2025) Released by Lightyear Entertainment and directed by Rex Miller.
Step into the raw, unforgiving origins of New York City Hardcore with "Wired For Chaos," an intimate and powerful documentary tracing the extraordinary life of Punk Rock legend and Cro-Mags founder HARLEY FLANAGAN.
Raised in the turbulent Lower East Side of the late 1970's by a Warhol Factory "It" girl, Harley was thrust into an adult world of drugs, violence, and neglect—left to fend for himself in Alphabet City squats while bursting onto the music scene as an 11-year-old prodigy playing iconic stages like CBGBs and Max's Kansas City.
More than a music documentary, "Wired For Chaos" delves deeply into Harley's survival against unbelievable odds, exploring the long-term impact of childhood trauma, street survival, and living with PTSD.
Featuring compelling interviews and candid conversations with an icon-studded cast—including Flea, Henry Rollins, Michael Imperioli, Scott Ian, Ice-T, Glenn Danzig, and the late Anthony Bourdain—this film delivers a layered, unvarnished portrait of a legendary era and the resilience of a true hardcore pioneer.
