On this special episode of Riot Act, we are joined by the legendary Freddy Cricien, frontman of one of New York hardcore’s most enduring bands; Madball. With over three decades of hard road toil under his belt, and as a committed lover of live music Steve spoke to Freddy about his five favourite frontmen/women of all time. We get his thoughts on just what it takes to command a stage, from the smallest dive bars to the biggest stadiums, and he reveals his memories from his own career, from the early days of the burgeoning New York hardcore scene watching Bad Brains and Agnostic Front to stepping out at Wembley Arena with Korn and Limp Bizkit As hardcore’s first ever representatives on an arena stage in the UK.
