New York hardcore legends Madball, featuring Cliff “Rigg” Ross on drums, have signed with I Scream Records for the European territory. Label owner Laurens Kusters, also former drummer in Deviate (aka DV8), says of the signing:“Over the last few years we’ve worked very close with Madball on releases such as the “Resistance Tour dvd volume 2” and the “Worldwide Tribute To The Real Oi Compilation”. To be able to work this highly anticipated new full-length, due for release in September 2007, is an icing on the cake in this 13th year of business for the label.”
