Show Notes
We're back with the second half of our conversation with one of hardcore's all time greatest frontmen: Freddy Cricien AKA Freddy MADBALL.
We discuss their hectic, but iconic performance at the legendary Dynamo Open Air 1995, the evolution of the karate mosh, the classic NYHC Documentary, Demonstrate my Style, Look My Way, Hold It Down, Madball initially breaking up in the early 2000s, New York Hardcore after 9/11, and so much more...
Thank you all for joining us for both parts of this incredible chat, thank you to Freddy for joining us and for paving the way. Hardcore lives.
Madball's next LP "Not Your Kingdom" is coming soon.
