And this Italian band rocks. Madhouse presents ten pumping modern rock tracks with groovy guitar riffs and a lyrical concept, proposing ten hotel rooms in which it is possible to keep looking for your own personal dimensions. Federica Tringali has a powerful voice fitting perfectly with the steaming songs. She does not reach for screaming high chords but uses overdubbed vocal effects which create harmonic and melodic sounds between the guitar riffs. This charismatic front woman has a powerful voice and can compete with the best modern rock and emo-rock singers these days. Guitar players Filippo Anfossi and Daniele Maggi conjure some catchy guitar work out of their bag. Minimized keyboard parts furnish interesting and refreshing impulses to the music. The combo is working hard and had already live gigs in several European countries.
Madhouse’s first full album is filled with enthusiastic (heavy) rock guitars and atmospheres like 30 Seconds To Mars, Placebo and My Bloody Valentine. This is a band with international potentials playing catchy, varied alternative rock music. Although they bring nothing new on the horizon this Italian band has balls, courage, musicianship and one hell of a female singer. Very refreshing rock music.
