Info
On August 19, 2026 at Hard Luck Bar, Madball brings its New York hardcore to the stage, a sound forged at the turn of the 90s in the orbit of Agnostic Front. Led since the outset by vocalist Freddy Cricien, the band deals in compact tempos, metallic riffs and weighty breakdowns, with lyrics grounded in street reality, loyalty and collective endurance. Expect a set that digs into early releases Ball of Destruction and Droppin’ Many Suckers, then runs through Set It Off, Demonstrating My Style, Look My Way and Hold It Down, up to later chapters Legacy, Infiltrate the System, Empire, Hardcore Lives and For the Cause. Today, Cricien is joined by Mike Justian, Mike Gurnari and Brendan Porray, a lineup shaped by years spent in clubs and festivals across several continents.
Combust opens with a New York take on hardcore that mixes speed, groove and a straight-ahead sense of the riff. Rooted in the late-80s and early-90s NYHC blueprint, their tracks move fast, lock into a tough rhythm section and carry a barked vocal focused on daily pressure, loss and personal resilience. The Void (2018) set the tone; Another Life (2019) tightened the writing without sanding off the raw edges. A tight setup for Madball at Hard Luck Bar in Toronto.
