Wisdom In Chains, “Chasing the Dragon”, the second video from the album “Everything You Know” on I Scream Records.
This video is produced & directed by Universal Warning Records, filmed by Tim Martinkovitch and edited By Mike Varga. All of the footage was shot between January 2011 & June 2011 at six different venues, across three states and including PA venues: The MCL, The Polish Club, The Note, and Club Reverb.
Wisdom In Chains started a few years ago with members from America and Europe. Maarten, a guitar player from Holland in a band called Daredevil made the call to Richie and Mad Joe who where in Krutch at the time. Maarten had the idea to start an old school band, with heavy punk and oi influences. The three met while Krutch was on tour in Europe. The plans where made and Maarten came to the USA to record. The group released a self entitled CD on Gangstyle Records. Only one show was ever performed by the group due to the extreme distance between the members.
Eventually Maarten, who was a key writer in the band, would convince Richie and Joe to find local members and keep this band going. So they recruited local guitarist Tony Meltdown from a band called The Ninth Plague. Shannon Sparky was brought in on drums, he was also played with Richie and Mad Joe in Out To Win (aka Mushmouth). With Big Show Greg on bass, the new line-up was complete and they started touring, playing street rock with heavy old school HC and OI influences. The band members have played and toured with other bands like Krutch, FCK, The Ninth Plague, Boxcutter (another side project of Mad Joe Black), Out To Win, Feeble and others.

Animalhaus, “Now We Know”, featuring Mad Joe from Wisdom In Chains.
Taken from the forthcoming album “Boys From Barley Hill”, available January 2012 on One Day Savior Records.
Animal Haus was formed in the spring of 2010, but the idea was born years ago when John Barlow and Ziggy were on the road with their old band, Barricade. Even though they enjoyed every minute on the road with their old project they knew they wanted to do something else, something that brought their love of hardcore back to its roots and, more importantly, back to being fun. With a line-up secure, the Haus recorded its demo in May, 2010, and it quickly made its rounds through the local scene and continues to spread far and fast. With the strength of the demo behind them, Animal Haus wasted no time in writing and recording a full length record.

Originally a side project between friends, Wisdom in Chains has been around for several years now as the main focus as far as music for Mad Joe the singer, Richie and Mav, the guitarists, Evan the bassist, and Shannon the drummer.
Wisdom is a Hardcore band, the difference is their recipe. They add metal, punk, Oi! and rock to their music, along with their own signature style. They just do their thing regardless of what the flavor of the day is. With heartfelt, personal lyrics, some call Mad Joe the Johnny Cash of Hardcore. Say whatever you would like about Wisdom, but you cant deny, they put their heart and soul into this music, and they exist without any financial rewards.They do it simply because they must.
The song “My Friend” is the first single off their upcoming album The Missing Links. The video was directed by Dave Causa and Chris Mahmood for There’s Always Next Year Productions. The concept of the video is simply a portrayal of the band and the importance of friendship and unity. Following the release of the video “My Friend,” Wisdom in Chains gears up for a European Tour and the release of The Missing Links.
