Do It With Malice is a five-piece band from Buffalo, NY. Having performed with local and national ska, punk, and reggae acts over the past seven years, Malice plays an amalgam that has been described as ska-core, though the band is admittedly (in no presumptuous terms) not really sure. Known for its rowdy--and erratically profane--live sets and brutal, metal-influenced themes, Do It With Malice is an unpretentiously incongruent contributor to the ska-punk scene.

The band most recently showcases its raucousness with the introduction of its second full-length album, "The Burned-Over District." Recorded in Lockport, NY at Watchmen Studios by engineer Doug White (Every Time I Die, Gym Class Heroes), the album incorporates a dynamic melding of metal riffs and third-wave ska, culminating in a record that is--if nothing else--truly anomalous. "The Burned-Over District" was released on UK independent label Ska Mutiny Records in 2011.

Founded in 2004, Do It With Malice has amassed myriad influences while expanding its catalogue over its lifespan. After recording its humorously sub-par 2005 demo, the band wrote and released its first (and significantly less sub-par) full-length record, "Symphonic Homicide" in 2008. The CD was re-released by Ska Mutiny Records in 2011, through which the album is currently available for free download.

Currently, the band is preparing for a Northeast US tour in May 2011, and plans to write and record material for a subsequent new release.
