Madison

There is more than one artist with this name:

1) Madison is a New Jersey-based screamo and later more pop punk band. They were active from 2001 until their split in late 2006 after their relationship with their then label Rushmore Records took a turn for the worse. Madison claimed Rushmore neglected them as a band and didn't listen to their repeated requests for them to be sent to the studio to record a full length, demos of new material having already been submitted but apparently ignored by Rushmore. Rushmore responded by saying that the band were too demanding and had exaggerated their claims. After trying to leave the label to find another to release their next record through but being unable to do so due to contract issues, the band split. Rushmore's parent label Drive-Thru Records apparently threatened the band with personal lawsuits when they put their side of the story with regards to their split on their Myspace page. While active, Madison released one EP "For the First Time in Years, I'm Leaving you" and played many shows in the US.


2)Madison was the first band for young Swedish singer Goran Edman, who later sang for Yngwie Malmsteen and several other hard rock acts. The material here was in the melodic hard rock/heavy metal arena, not bad for its time. At one time (sometime in 1998) there was talk of a new album, but nothing has been heard from the band since.
