About Me |

The members of Madball are icons in the underground and that underground now spills forth into the streets. Since forming in 1988, Madball has been responsible for some of the most important releases in the genre, from the seminal Ball of Destruction EP (1989) to the landmark albums Set It Off (1994), Demonstrating My Style (1996), Look My Way (1998), Hold it Down (2000), and their career defining resurgent Ferret Music debut, Legacy (2005). The band completes their musical and lyrical evolution with Infiltrate the System, comprised of 13 tracks that combine the most tried-and-true and fan-beloved elements of their esteemed catalog with new depth, renewed urgency, increasing diversity and a near-conceptual approach to new stories about the streets, and the world. It's fitting that after meeting so many of different types of fans on the road, in places as diverse as Latin America, Europe and Japan (the band's first proper tour, in fact, was across the Atlantic, and South America followed soon after), Madball chose to acknowledge the impact of the hardcore community that spawned them in places great and small, from the mind-blowing to the mundane, with their new album's title. "There are so many different examples that have come up more recently in my life," relates singer Freddy Madball, who began the band (which takes its moniker from the nickname given Freddy by legendary New York Hardcore fixture Vinnie Stigma) as a young teenager with some guys from his brother's group, Agnostic Front, and has seen it evolve alongside co-founding member Hoya Roc...

(Outside the U.S.) From Alternative Press: Madball Infiltrate The System ***1/2 NYHC legends still pack a punch. As the landscape of hardcore changes over time, it's nice to have a model of consistency encapsulating a genre that once dominated the punk and hardcore scene. Madball haven't been short on adversity through their history, which keeps their music as urgent and real as ever. Infiltrate The System is 30 minutes of pure, unadulterated rage, with all the pogo-mosh parts to match. Much like their cross-town brethren in Sick Of It All, Madball have not changed a thing about their sound beyond the recording quality: The record is overflowing with gang vocals, breakdowns and shouts of New York pride. As you move past your days of wearing eyeliner and listening to kids with funny haircuts scream like pterodactyls, give the undisputed champs a shot; one spin through the album's impassioned lead track "We The People" should have you circle-pitting with the family dog in seconds-the rest is just a bonus.
