MADDISON’s fab ‘Slide’ EP is out now on iTunes. We think you’ll love it…but don’t just take our word for it…
“After having done a bit of research on these guys I was pretty impressed to see that they're not doing too bad in the old US of A. Having had their new EP played on various radio stations across the promised land I was intrigued to hear what all the fuss was about, I wasn't disappointed. Their cutting edge rock/indie sound is different to all those other 'indie bands' mixed with Californian cruising melodies and good old British rock and roll, its obvious why this lot are doing well in America. 'Slide' is by far the best song on the album, with its driving rhythms and simple chords, matched with gritty, honest vocals which make you listen to every word. The EP continues to impress with a mixture of styles being incorporated into the tracks, showing the band's ability to keep pushing forward and developing their sound. Surprisingly, America has got it right, Maddison are great!" Ella Byford, Sandman Magazine
"Incredibly catchy stuff this - taking the melodic nous of Oasis and marrying it to a rockier, blues-driven backing. Damien Maddison's vocals really stand out; raw and raspy without any metal-ish histrionics, he recalls Stevie Ray Vaughan at his crackling best. If they've got a few more instant hooks to match this, Maddison could conquer American rock airwaves with ease." Channel 4 Television's PlanetSound review of 'Slide'
"Classic rock with double edged harmony and a mighty sly grin. Maddison’s tracks are fully-loaded, indie-pop classics influenced by The Pixies, Dylan and Stone Roses, the latter being a very obvious maker in ‘Rainbow’ with a background saturated in gleaming sunshine. ’Hold Back The Rain’ showcases Damien’s “Neil Finn”-toned vocals in a cheerful, happy anthemic piece." WeAreManchester Magazine

I have put some new songs up...they are all very different to match my schizophrenic musical thoughts. Hope you like them. If you do, if you don't let me know...I like to be kept informed.
