Description

On their debut album We're Bringing Dubstep Back!, the forward thinking band Madmax invites listeners into their diverse, high energy musical universe. The ten tracks span a wide range of sounds and moods: rattling surf rock gives way to neon lit, Shibuya crossing inspired math rock riffs; a buoyant, tongue in cheek art pop song about having one's livelihood stolen as a musician channels grief through furious fuzz guitar and a yearning tuba solo; a contrapuntal, Copacabana inspired serenade with wavering glockenspiel collides with intense synths and guitar solos; snarling punk riffs are interrupted by fragmented children's melodies and Duracell like hyperpop; western style guitar accompanies flowing Tristano esque lines on salon piano; chaotic sugar rush disco is elevated by synth programmed cuica; meditative soundscapes unfurl into delicate pop; and finally, sampling meets frenzied pinball.
The album title is a dryly humorous nod to the maximal dubstep of the 2010s, with the band playfully claiming to bring the style back into the spotlight. The genre carries nostalgia for the band members, who were all born around the turn of the millennium. Hardcore dubstep fans will likely be disappointed - because this music cannot really be called dubstep - but that raises the question of what it actually is. What Madmax shares with dubstep, undeniably, is unpredictability and boldness - you never quite know what's around the next corner, and the band is fearless in playing with extremes.
