Throwing off the chains of conformity to allow themselves the freedom of original music without labels, Malvado have proved themselves to be the premier hard rock band to emerge out of the mid-Atlantic in recent history. A true image of creativity, talent and professionalism, the band began their journey into the darkest regions of the musical soul in early 2000 amidst the separation of the band's predecessor, FIST; in which the remaining members decided to continue their desire to make unique, mysterious music by immersing themselves in the song writing process. Malvado made their crushing debut in February 2000, and since then have been hard at work creating a powerful buzz and a loyal fan bas spanning the entire Mid-Atlantic region. In only a short period of time, Malvado have shared he stage with such national acts as Staind, Joan Jett, Drain STH, Jimmie's Chicken Shack, D**e, Anthrophobia, Virgos Merlot, Vast, Second Coming and many, many more. Malvado's debut album, released in the Summer of 2002, is sure to quickly become a staple in every hard rock lover's music collection, so be sure to check out the official website, www.malvadoband.com, for more information on the CD's release date, merchandise information and tour dates.
