NYC punk rocker Jesse Malin brought his enthusiastic act to the stage today for Free at Noon.

Malin got his start in the NYC punk scene early, at age 12. After spending time fronting the hardcore band Heart Attack and the glam punk band D Generation, among other projects, Malin decided to go solo. He spent time reshaping his sound to emulate the greats, such as Neil Young, Tom Waits, and Steve Earle. Eight albums later,  he arrived at World Cafe Live today, touring in support of his newest effort, New York Before the War.

Malin belted out lead single “Addicted,” as well as other fist-pumping jams, including “Turn Up the Mains” and “She’s So Dangerous,” which featured a face-melting double lead solo. He even jumped out into the crowd, dancing alongside everyone and standing on the sound booth.

He’ll be returning to Philly on July 25 with a show at the Boot and Saddle. Tickets here.

Check photos and the setlist from the show and listen to an archive of the performance in its entirety.
