Editor's note

Madball's New York hardcore never softened.

A band that stuck to its straightforward, aggressive sound from the start.

If you want to hear what they're about, 'Done' and 'Demonstrating My Style' frame it pretty well. It's all there from the beginning.

Madball matters because they defined a certain kind of New York hardcore that just didn't compromise. Songs like 'Done' and 'Set It Off' from 1989 laid down a blueprint of pure confrontation. They kept that energy alive for decades, with later tracks like 'Darkest Days' showing the same intensity.

They started in New York City in 1988, formed by brothers Freddy and Roger Miret. Early material like 'Set It Off' set the tone, and they kept putting out records like 'Ball of Destruction' in 1994 and 'Infiltrate the System' in 2007. The sound stayed rooted, with Freddy Miret's vocals a constant through lineup changes.

Archive material and source history

Madball started in New York City in 1988, formed by brothers Freddy and Roger Miret. They came up playing hardcore punk with a straightforward, aggressive sound that didn't try to soften its edges. Their early material like 'Set It Off' from 1989 established their approach, and songs such as 'Done' and 'Demonstrating My Style' carried that energy forward.

Over time, the band put out records like 'Ball of Destruction' in 1994 and 'Demonocracy' the following year. Freddy Miret's vocals remained a constant through lineup changes, delivering lyrics that often dealt with confrontation and resilience. Tracks like 'Darkest Days' and 'Everyday Hate' reflected that persistent intensity.

Madball kept recording and touring, releasing albums including 'Infiltrate the System' in 2007 and 'Empire' in 2014. Their sound stayed rooted in that New York hardcore style, avoiding major shifts in direction. They built a following by sticking to what they did from the beginning, playing shows and putting out records without much fuss.
