Finland, like Sweden and Norway is one of those countries where everybody appears to be in a band. From Lahti, come Madison Roam and when they formed in 2009 they, "mixed the influences from blues to stoner and everything in between and forged it into one hell of a rock prodigy!" I'm not sure about the validity of that statement in its totality but there are worse ways to spend one's time than in the company of Madison Roam.
To my ears they sound like a cross between The 69 Eyes and D-A-D, so a little gothy and a little punk with a nice pop sensibility thrown in would sum it up nicely. Somewhere and I'm not sure it's the one in which we live, songs like "Mary-Lou" with its infectious chorus (do do do do do, Mary-Lou) would get airplay and success would ensue. Looking at the kind of bands who top the SoT end of year polls it would be difficult to wholeheartedly recommend this to our readers as the pleasures on Madison Roam are simple but nevertheless pleasures which are well, pleasurable.
