Californian rock band Mad At The World back after 22 years
THE SYNTH rock band Mad At The World, comprising of brothers Randy and Roger Rose, are reuniting to release their first album in 22 years. The band issued seven albums between 1987 and 1995. To help fund their return to the scene the duo have launched a Kickstarter campaign. It read, "I convinced my brother Roger (with help of the success of my new Rose record) to do this record with me as Mad At The World. What a cool idea, go back to the beginning, the very sound that put us on the map in the early '80s. Back then we were hopeful in a dark world and 30 years later we'll be the light in the absolute blackness that we call "normality'. We have a lot to say, a lot has changed and in most ways, not for the better. When the funding of this record goes as planned we will create a new Mad At The World masterpiece - our fresh new sounds will be incredible: deep, lush, dark, bright and powerful. You see there's nothing more punk rock than having the guts to do a synth pop record again."
