Biography

Maida Vale is based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The band plays heavy rock with lots of melody and tongue-in-cheek humour.

Maida Vale released two albums, Moscow Delight (2002) and Prefab Bliss (2004), which enjoyed positive reviews ("This band has guts" .... "Interesting band with a clearly distinguishable original sound" .... "The band combine progressive rock, metal and punk in an inimitable manner").

A new dimension to the Maida Vale sound was added in 2005 when female singer Kinke Miedema joined the band. Up to then the band had male singers. The renewed sound was captured on the EP Neo-Bliss (2005) which contains a remake of 3 Prefab Bliss tracks.

In 2008 Maida Vale contributed to a compilation CD with 15 female fronted metal bands. The CD, entitled 'Ferocity and Femininity', featured bands from the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, Norway and the Netherlands. The Maida Vale contribution was a new version of 'Remote control'. 'Ferocity and Femininity' has been distributed throughout the UK and is sold through Amazon.

After a break the band was relaunched in 2011, but with a completely new line-up. Next to original band member Ronald Bleys (guitar), there is Carline Kepel (vocals), Sebastiaan Broere (drums), Wim van Noort (keyboards) and ex-Blue Murder musician Moniek Voulon (bass).

I've put up the Intro(demo) called 'Welcome the Pain'.  As well there are the remastered 'Heavens Wish' & 'Dreaming'. Still I'm looking for some feedback from you. Hope you enjoy what you hear. Leave a comment in the feedback blog. Stay in touch,
