Album Notes

FINALLY! After what seemed like a million years, the new MADHOUSE disc is HERE! MADHOUSE Undermedicated is the band\'s new 6 track EP and it will sizzle your CD players and your ears! Like every other MADHOUSE CD, there is energy, heart and fun to spare, but this CD shows an even more intense MADHOUSE than ever before! We\'ve turned it up to 11 for you this time!! AND...click on the the YouTube link here on this page to be magically transported a music video for the first single from this CD, \"Something Serious\", created for the band by Hollywood special effects guru Alan McFarland!

A little more about the band...

MADHOUSE is Anthony Altino (guitar & lead vocals), Bobby Brennan (acoustic & electric bass and vocals), Jamie McKenna (percussion and vocals), Brian Petras (keyboards) and Mark Kiser (drums). Their music falls loosely under the heading of ”pop” but is really a unique blend of many musical styles such as rock, folk, latin, country and swing. The music is very upbeat, saturated with extremely catchy hooks and lyrics that often tell stories with a decidedly \"tongue in cheek\" flare. At times it sounds a little \"retro\" but at others much more contemporary. Groups that have been influential to their style are Barenaked Ladies, Dave Matthews, XTC, The Beatles, Crowded House, They Might Be Giants and Elvis Costello, just to name a few. Their music’s energy seems to jump right off their CDs as you play them. You\'re gonna want to use this in place of any of those antidepressants you\'ve been taking! THIS music is the antidote to all of that dark, angst ridden, brooding and whiney music you will find out there today without becoming overly sentimental or sappy. MADHOUSE is just plain FUN!!! The band\'s live shows are quite a spectacle to behold, with loads of antics, props and peculiar dance moves. These guys are not just musicians...they are entertainers! The music is delivered with energy and musicianship to spare, and the audience is always made to feel they are part of the show.
