Madball: All Or Nothing – new video

 

New York City hardcore legends MADBALL have released brand new music video for the track ‘All Or Nothing", off band's 2010 album entitled ‘Empire’, produced by Eric Rutan and released through Good Fight Music (USA) and Nuclear Blast Records (Europe). The video was directed and edited by Michael Distelkamp, along with co-director Freddy Cricien for Black N’ Blue Productions in association with Convoy Films.

MADBALL originated back in 1989 as a side project of the legendary hardcore outfit AGNOSTIC FRONT. The early version of the band featured most of AGNOSTIC FRONT members that played mostly AGNOSTIC FRONT's unused songs. Only in 1991, when Freddy Cricien on vocals, guitarists Matt Henderson and Vinnie Stigma, drummer Will Shepler  and bassist Hoya Roc joined forces, MADBALL truly hit their stride. They recorded an EP called ‘Droppin' Many Suckas’, which eventually led to the band signing with Roadrunner Records in 1994. They released full-length ‘Set It Off’ (rumored to be HATEBREED's Jamey Jasta's favorite hardcore album) that same year and ‘Demonstrating My Style’ followed in 1996. MADBALL, now consisting of Cricien, Henderson, Hoya and new drummer John Lafatta, recorded what many consider their finest album, ‘Look My Way’, in 1998. Epitaph Records-released ‘Hold It Down’ followed in 2000. The band briefly broke up from early 2001 until late 2002 when Cricien and Hoya enlisted ex-SKARHEAD guitarist Mitts and former HATEBREED drummer Rigg Ross and as such released via Ferret Records 2005's ‘Legacy’ and 2007's ‘Infiltrate The System’. In 2009 Rigg Ross left the band to be replaced by ex-THROWDOWN's Ben Dussault. Igor Wouters is MADBALL's current touring drummer.
