Hold It Down (Epitaph)By:
Alex Steininger Fast, vigorous, and hard, Madball's objective on
Hold It Down is to keep the "new", "york," and "hard" in "New York Hardcore". And, with songs like "Can't Stop, Won't Stop," "Fall This Time," "Everyday Hate," "Show No Fear," and "Confessions," the band blisters through some of the most fierce, ferocious hardcore available. Thus, their objectives are met and then some. This is hardcore as it should be, violent with a conscious. Let's pass the torch; I'll give this a B.
