Madball Concert Tickets

The nyhc band Madball originated back in the late 1980s, as a side project of legendary NYHC outfit Agnostic Front (Where none other than AF's frontman Roger Miret would let his little brother Freddy "Madball" Cricien take the microphone on lead vocals during AF shows). After releasing the "Ball of Destruction" single in 1989, the buzz around the streets was the question of when was Madball going to play next gave birth to an early version of the band playing live on other bills than just AF shows.

The coolest thing about New York hardcore institution Madball, led by singer Freddy Cricien, is their fervent support of the scene that birthed them. Not only have they stayed true to their roots, delivering album after album of high-quality, breakdown-heavy hardcore, they've also served as mentors for the next generation of windmill-friendly New York (and other areas) tough hardcore bands...

One of the nicest things about Madball is they will always sound like you expect them to sound--tough-guy hardcore, all the way. Like a favorite blanket (albeit one decorated with big dudes brandishing even bigger muscles), these guys are always there to comfort us with their windmill-inducing breakdowns and over-the-top gang vocals...

"It's straightforward hardcore delivered in a way that only Madball can and helps the band sound as fresh today as they did when they released 'Set It Off'" The great thing about Madball is that, much like Motorhead and AC/DC, you know what to expect when they release a new album. While the examples mentioned always provide balls-out rock and roll, Madball never fails to produce solid hardcore music, and as expected, "Empire" is no exception...

There was a time when Agnostic Front shadows Madball were a hardcore band. Their penchant for aping the riffs of their brethren was cute at best. Therefore it's no surprise that Infiltrate The System finds them stepping out of the hardcore ring and into the metal one, just like big brothers Roger Miret and Vinnie Stigma did with their last effort, 2005's Another Voice,. The strange thing is that in this case, vocalist Freddie Cricien and crew have leapfrogged their idols...

"Self-doubt has been getting the best of me for way too long / I've been fighting this, fighting this all my life / Now I'm ready for it to be gone." So begins half an hour of some of the most painfully honest music you will ever hear. Freddy Cricien has been unashamedly barking his street style therapy throughout the hardcore underground for the past 17 years...

NYC hardcore pioneers Madball incorporate a scorched earth policy on Hold It Down. A band that I thought had become a lost cause after mediocre releases on RoadRunner has redeemed itself with a street-smart effort that does a great job combining 80s hardcore influences with today's melodic metal. Rob Rosario's guitar lines are unforgettable, providing a rhythmic core that feeds the other three members a steady diet of anger and penance...

Madball's fifth full-length and first in five years, Legacy, is by-the-book New York City hardcore. The vaguely metallic guitar riffs are simple and punchy, the shouted gang choruses are perfectly suited for fist pumping, and the motivational lyrics deal with themes of pride, unity, standing tough and confronting your fears...

Fronted since 1989 by indomitable singer Freddy Madball, Madball form part of the highly regarded New York hardcore punk scene. To hell with maturing over time, they declare. 18 years of rough sailing in the explosively anti-political waters of their niche has led them to make a call for us all to Infiltrate the System on their latest release. They, of course, have exclusive rights to the soundtrack. "We speak of justice / But who will bring it?", they roar in opening warcry "We the People"...

New York hardcore project Madball was first put together years before this debut EP hit record-store shelves, but it was still the first thing many heard from or about this Agnostic Front side project. Considering the group's close relation to one of hardcore's most essential artists, it is hardly a surprise that Droppin' Many Suckers packs a mean punch. The 1994 offering has all the force one would expect from an experienced, committed hardcore outfit...
