MADBALL Unleashes 'Not Your Kingdom' and 'Rebel Kids' Rips!
Hardcore legends MADBALL roar back with a fierce new album and anthem for the youth!
New York hardcore titans MADBALL are back, and they’re swinging hard with their upcoming album, Not Your Kingdom, dropping July 24 via Nuclear Blast. These legends don’t just play hardcore; they embody it, and this time they’re bringing a raw, unfiltered look at survival that’s more personal than ever.
Get Ready to Rage with 'Rebel Kids'
First taste of the album? It’s the explosive single 'Rebel Kids' — an anthem that’s got the classic MADBALL groove and energy, reaching out to the new wave of hardcore fans. The music video, co-directed by frontman Freddy Cricien and Dave Causa, captures that gritty essence perfectly.
Cricien spills the beans: “Funny enough, 'Rebel Kids' was the first track written for this album and it came together about two years ago. It became the spark for everything that followed. We knew it was special, but who knew it would be the first single?”
