Without much ado, New York hardcore legends Madball have bolstered their ranks with Jay Weinberg.

The 19-year-old drummer is the son of Max Weinberg - sticksman for Bruce Springsteen's E.Street Band. Weingberg junior even deputized for his old man during the Boss's tour last year and until recently was the skin basher for punk band The Reveling. Now he's officially a full-fledged member of Madball.

The band's new album is to be titled 'Empire', scheduled for release on October 10 from Nuclear Blast Records/Wizard.
