TRACK LIST

MALAD - the new high-flyer on Smith & Miller Records.

"MALAD" is the simple name of the debut album by Malad from the Netherlands. Founded in 2019 by Jane and Jordy, the pandemic not only famously led to a number of line-up changes and departures for "Malad". In April 2022, Jane, Jordy and Tim began recording the album at Impact Audio in Berlin without a bass player. They quickly found a bassist for the recordings in Sucker, ex-singer and mastermind behind Oxymoron and Bad Co. Projekt, who also ended up acting as co-producer. One and a half years and several kilometres of track later, the recordings are complete and the result is twelve energetic songs that don't really fit into any of the usual drawers. But who cares about drawers when they get angry guitar music, so only the adjective "authentic" fits 100%. Drawers also don't fit with the band's intention to act as a kind of musical link for all subcultures. In the song 'Underdog', in which you can clearly hear the band's Oi! influences, this desire for more respect and cohesion among the various subcultures is taken up and articulated.

When Jordy screams at the top of his lungs about the lack of moral courage in the song 'Back off!', you can feel his distaste for the cowardice of the masses in every note. Social criticism packaged as hardcore punk, fast, hard and honest. 'Dode Democratie' ('Dead Democracy'), which deals with the anger and disappointment over the outcome of the last Dutch elections. Angry street punk with catchy guitar solos, a song with great catchy potential. The white line runs through the entire album in a very varied way. Sometimes full on, but like 'Love is Dead' it’s also a bit rockier; not forgetting Jane's female vocals. 

The album's artwork and design was created by Gwenn, the singer of The Reapers, who also provides backing vocals with his voice.
