Madball and the Rise of New York Hardcore

from The History of Punk Rock Podcast: Bands, Scenes, Hardcore, DIY Culture, Record Labels, Clubs, and Punk Music History · host Podily

In this episode we follow Madball’s formation from a kid‑aged frontman in a 10th Street rehearsal space to a leading voice of NYHC, exploring their early demo culture, touring circuits, label deals with Roadrunner and Revelation, and how they fused thrash metal riffing into the hardcore template that spawned later New York acts.
