Freddy Madball (Cricien) is the younger half-brother of Agnostic Front singer Roger Miret. The first Madball lineup consisted of a 12 year old Freddy singing, his brother on bass, and AF members Vinnie Stigma and Will Shepler on guitar and drums.
The last time New York hardcore legends, Madball, played a hardcore friendly venue in Chicago was back during the Fireside Bowl days, in other words many years ago.
