ABOUT iLL RAiSED

iLL RAiSED is a prominent NYHC band hailing from Queens, New York. The group specializes in a gritty, high-energy fusion of hardcore punk and metal. 

The name of the band translates directly from the Spanish term "Malcriados". Adults traditionally use this word to criticize "rotten youth" who were raised poorly.

"iLL": Acts as a double meaning. It implies doing something incorrectly or poorly, but in street slang,it means "dope" or "tight".

The band proudly embraces its Latino heritage and uses "Malcriados" and "iLL RAiSED" interchangeably.
