Originating as a side project of Agnostic Front, Madball have spent the last three decades developing and perfecting the hardcore formula; thrash-influenced riffs, bellowing vocals and a sound that is the music equivalent of being punched in the face continuously. With eight albums to their name, including this year's incredible record Hardcore Lives, Madball have created a wealth of music for your listening pleasure. From the simple but effective 1994 debut Set It Off to the refined and perfected formula seen on this year's Hardcore Lives, this is some of the best hardcore music to be experienced! Madball are incredibly influential to the development and growth of the hardcore scene so for those who look to see how it all started and developed, Madball make a fine addition to your hardcore journey of discovery.
