The "New York Hard-Core" band MADBALL originated back in the late 80s, 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.
It wasn’t until 1991 when Madball truly hit their
stride, when the lineup of Freddy Cricien on vocals, guitarists Matt
Henderson and Vinnie Stigma, drummer Will Shepler, and bassist Hoya Roc
of Dmize
joined forces. The new version of the band (not just all AF members)
quickly recorded and released an EP called Droppin’ Many Suckas in 1992,
which eventually led to the band signing with Roadrunner in 1994. By
releasing a pair of straight-ahead hardcore full-lengths (1994’s Set It
Off and 1996’s Demonstrating My Style) and touring steadily, the band
built a sizeable fan base outside their hometown. Consisting of Cricien,
Henderson, Hoya, and new drummer John Lafatta, the band recorded Look
My Way, which was released in the spring of 1998. Hold It Down followed
two years later. For the past three years Madball has come out with a CD
evey year Best of Madball in 2003, N.Y.H.C. EP in 2004, in , & what
many consider their finest album yet, Legacy in 2005.
