Description

The Beastie Boys’ Aglio E Olio EP, now celebrating its 25th anniversary, takes listeners back to the group’s punk roots. Originally released in 1995, this fast-paced 8-track project spans just 11 minutes, offering a sharp, energetic reminder of the band’s early days in the hardcore punk scene. With Mike D, Ad-Rock, and MCA at the helm, Aglio E Olio also features drummer Amery “AWOL” Smith from Suicidal Tendencies, adding even more intensity to the raw, unfiltered sound.

Reissued by Capitol Records, this release brings the Beastie Boys’ lesser-known punk side to a new generation of fans. Whether you’re revisiting their early hardcore days or discovering it for the first time, Aglio E Olio is a must-have for Beastie Boys enthusiasts and punk aficionados alike.
