Introducing: The Maddigans

• 20th Jan 2016

Time to meet Edmonton, Canada based pop punks The Maddigans, who will be releasing their long-awaited debut album ‘No Place Like Here’ on 4th March 2016 worldwide.

The quartet – half British and half Canadian – have managed to tour 19 countries independently, land support from internationally respected outlets like Alternative Press and BBC Introducing and write four records, all whilst juggling the logistics of having half their members divided by the Atlantic ocean for at least part of the year.

Blending a more traditional pop punk sound in the vein of State Champs with the mainstream rock of the likes of PVRIS and Twenty One Pilots, the latest record is an attempt to finally capture their energetic live performance in a studio setting.

Drummer Benn Kimmis comments on the new material:

“We write all of our songs together as a band – anyone’s part is up for critique from anyone, so they’re a complete team effort by all of us. We’ve never used any co-writers or even had much in the way of ‘producers’, no-one outside the band has ever had a major impact on our songs and we’re proud of that. We’ve played a decent amount of shows all over the world now and have developed a pretty raw live performance. I think this is the closest we’ve come to capturing our live sound on a record.”

The band will be announcing details of Canadian and UK tour dates in support of the new record as well as further details of the album over the coming months.
