First Interview to come for my big X-Mas Special!
Madison Affair are a band, that kinda blows everything away.
Coming from Germany's capital and sounding as big as stuff from the United States.
These guys bring together Metalcore, Post Hardcore and Dubstep in a really unique way. Recently they released their final Debut entitled "Teenage Time" which is one of my favorite releases of 2011.
Massive and solid sounding band!
Seriously, check out Madison Affair!
Tell us about you, where are you guys from and what brought you guys together?
We're all from Berlin and we got to know each other through friends and other bands.
During the years, your sound grew bigger and better, how would you describe your sound and do you think it's the most final sound from you guys?
Yeah our style changed a lot since we started the band, but thats the way its supposed to be we guess.
and yes we think we're on a point where our style is kinda mature but we will always do our best to keep it developing!
Are there bands that influenced your sound?
We all listen to recent records that come out in the US, but we're also in a lot of other styles. Some bands that influenced us are woe is me, Attack Attack, Of Mice and Men, The Devil Wears Prada, ADTR and much more!
What does your band name mean?
It has no deeper meaning. Its just like Madison is a girl that lives in our society and the affair is her connection to the world.
Since it's kinda typical to categorize music, which genre(s) defines your band the most, though stereotyping is crap?
Don't know, something between Post-Hardcore, Breakstep and Autocore
Have you known what kind of music you want to play, before starting the band?
Not really, but we liked the same bands. So it was easy since the first jam.
What do you want to say with your music? Is there a message to the listeners?
Check it out, give us a chance, be aware of everything that happens
What are your favorite bands?
Woe is me, Motionless In White, Of Mice & Men, ADTR, This Or The Apocalypse, Periphery, Substructure, Protest the Hero, and soooo much more…
Where do you get your inspirations, beside to other bands, especially for the lyrics?
When you watch for what is going on on this planet, you gotta have a lot to say.
What are your interests beside the band? Do you guys just do the band or do you work/go to school/study?
The band is a like a full time job for all of us now. Some of us are working beside the band.
What things are coming up? News about new releases, new Merch, line up changes?
