Madder Rose

While sitting here typing up a document on what new smartphones can be used on our network, I decided to dive into a cd I havn't listened to in a while. After combing thru my mp3 collection I came across Madder Rose's - Panic On. If you are not familiar with this band, they emerged back in the early 90s full of jangle pop and lush vocals. The cd starts off with "Sleep Forever" a wall of sound with echoing vocals. By track two "Car Song" it slows down a bit into a weaving indie rock masterpiece. "Panic On" keeps the tempo moderate and is an even better song than track two. The chorus swirls around your head but does not grow old. The tempo doesn't really pick back up til track six "Drop A Bomb" a toe tappin rockin out song. Though the music drifts between tempos, the mood doesn't change much. During the early 90s, grunge was king and Madder Rose gave the college rock world something else to listen to. The mix between jangle pop, shoegazer and good ole americana is what we have. If this is your first introduction to Madder Rose, I recommend looking for one of their cds at a record store used bin. If you have been a fan but forgot about them, pull out a cd you will be glad you did.
