Madcow

About Me

What describes the Madcow sound? Crunchy riffs, unforgettable hooks, pervasive male/female harmonies and energy, energy, energy! The band's multiple influences are evident, from rock to jazz, blues, country and even reggae, and yet there is a distinctive Madcow sound. Their music continually evolves, morphs and modernizes, yet... there is still that sound. Was that PJ Harvey singing with Patsy Cline? Kurt Cobain dueling with Hank Williams? X busting in on a Beatles session? No. It's Madcow
