Madison Breaking Up?

[Melissa Johnson]

Rumor on the street is that Madison (http://www.myspace.com/madisonnj) will be breaking up (http://www.excessdb.com/showlisting.html). Wonder if the "(Don't Sign To) Rushmore Records" on their myspace label information has anything to do with it?

[shane hennessey]

whoever runs the school of rock said their last show was there

[OveriseFan]

This is true.

Away messages on AIM:

Looking for a Singer 18+ Lives in or around Bergen county (or can make it here for practice) to start a band thats going for something poppy and fun (Acceptance, Starting Line, Hit the Lights doesnt mean were going to sound like that but trying to describe what were doing/going for) Send me links/mp3's of stuff you have done or if you dont have something like that to offer please IM me to setup some type of rehersal. Hey we might even be looking for a keyboardist so if you play keys hit me up to.

ATTENTION: any band out there that needs a drummer, please contact me via my myspace or IM me.

[GreenJellyBean]

that's a shame.

[OveriseFan]

I loved their newer stuff. :(

I need to get the info.

[whitelines]

thank god...


and god, thanks for having 2 good shows at hamilton in one week (sksk & royden)

[Roadie]

[lassise]

[Melissa Johnson]

where is the dont sign to rushmore records thing?

or was taht just a hint to others
It was on their myspace page on the sidebar. Where it says "Label" it had said "(Dont sign to) Rushmore Records" unless it was taken down.

it's not there anymore

[ATDIdakota]

My friends band just played with them in New York last night with Southcott. The song Madison had way back when with Buddy from Senses Fail in it was the shit. If anyone has that song I will love you if you send it to me. AIM-saveyourscizzors

[moonlights]

damn, why are bands looking for keyboardists never near me

[IAmAmazing]

wow, this sucks..really liked them

[oceanblue]

:( I've been listening to Madison for a couple years, and this sucks.

[PJ1336]

they recorded an album for rushmore and it just never got released or anything... what gives?

[LillieDesigns]

They played at the first show I ever went to...this sucks =[

[Just An End]

is it just me, or did this band use to be like screamo? they stuff on their myspace now is totally removed from that

[valiant97]

rushmore refused to put out the cd.
madison's lawyers tryed to get them released from the contract.
rushmore wouldnt let them go.
it took a toll on madison.
they broke up.

ill beleive someone who can spell TRIED correctly

[myworstmistakes]

ill beleive someone who can spell TRIED correctly

way to attack someone for spelling, and not spell BELIEVE correctly. nice job.

[FailedSenses]

Why wouldn't Rushmore release the album? I loved Madison... the song with Buddy on it is called Gang Fights With Irish Accents... it's one of my faves. This is a damn shame!

[NameTaken69]

i really enjoyed them

[TotallyMandy]

way to attack someone for spelling, and not spell BELIEVE correctly. nice job.


Ooooh. BURN!!




:D

[michaeljennings]

they were okay.

[AnotherTale...]

i need a drummer!!!!

[brokenfocus]

These poor guys didn't even have a tour van for this last tour. They were sharing one with Southcott. It's too bad.

[David Wooley]

I kinda saw this coming they never really did much for the last year or so. it really sucks this band was really good. rushmore really did screw them over they never said a word about that band at all even when they first signed them its a shame.

[TheVolume]

it's honestly all the label's fault. richard didn't have enough money to care about them back then, and now he apparently just doesn't give a shit.

[monicaaaa!]

didn't count the stars have a similiar issue with another label..and they disbanded..but found a way around the contract like same band different name?
i'm not sure if i am even close to being right or not

[leftstranded]

this is too bad. and it seems like every band on rushmore has been killed. it's not looking good for the mile after

[shady]

im sure richard said they werent a major priority. he would rather have put over 100k into a 3 disc that probably wont recoup? im sure madison asked for a tenth of that. labels are supposed to get bands in the studio as soon as possible, and not make them wait and wait and wait. what a shitty situation.

[moonlights]

didn't count the stars have a similiar issue with another label..and they disbanded..but found a way around the contract like same band different name?
i'm not sure if i am even close to being right or not
count the stars was on victory, i have no idea about the rest of that
sounds like something victory would do, but i bet there's no way in hell they'd let them go with just a break up/reunite with another band name. they'd hold them to that damn contract no matter what their name was...

[edit] i've heard rumors rushmore is not going to be a label anymore as well (i would assume they're just going to put those bands on drive-thru) and the fact that their samplers only read drive-thru now as opposed to drive-thru/rushmore supports this, anyone know about it?

[rewindthistime]

for the past week or so their bulletins promoting the fact they posted a new song have said stuff like "sorry we got signed that was obv a terrible choice"

but shit this is pretty lame. the whole camp at dtr makes me kind of angry.

[imirish06]

it sucks that they broke up, but the songs they've put out since their last ep have sucked.

[youwithoutMe]

that sucks. i liked the new song.

[moore182]

It seems like every band that signs to Drive-thru or Rushmore has to change their sound right before or right after (like Socratic, Adelphi and other bands that in my opinion had better songs before full lengths {"Funeral Masses"--and--"Attention"}...That might just be coincidental, but it appears to go on with a lot of the bands on the label.
So then their demos don't get approved, and there are problems with releasing shit on time.
If label problems have caused Madison to break up, that is very unfortunate. I hope they get back on the right track soon.

I wonder if we'll ever hear anything from The Track Record...

[valiant97]

they fixed their van. they had a van + trailer for the whole tour.

the fact that something like that could happen just goes to show how little some bands read/understand/input into their contracts. if a band signs to a label and shit immediately starts going bad for the band, it's most likely the band's fault for not understanding what they were getting into. the fantasy of getting signed is sometimes enough to get bands to sign a contract without asking questions or making demands, for fear of having the offer taken away from them. and that's totally stupid.

the track record signed to another label... i forgot who... i think ONE11 records?

[TBSguitar]

richard probably didn't put out their cd because it wasnt good. i mean all the songs they put out after the ep just werent as good (it was bad) and wouldn't have got them anywhere. i mean richard has been hanging out with these guys for the past 5 years, and he's a real honest guy, but their new stuff isnt as good.

[r3wind74]

the track record signed to another label... i forgot who... i think ONE11 records?

I still see Rushmore attached to TTR name on concert promos. Do you know of where this ONE11 thing was posted?

[TheRunAround]

i think drive thru/rushmore signed too many bands and couldnt support em

[Freud]

noo :(

[Julia Conny]

A little birdie told me they were getting dropped from Rushmore. But that's all rumors. I'm curious as to what really happened. Maybe they'll release an official statement soon.

[12:46AM]

ill beleive someone who can spell TRIED correctlyyou've got about 5 grammatical errors there, pal. douchebag.

[Greg Thimmes]

You guys are forgetting about Houston Calls, they are a Rushmore band....However it seems they are still doing everything DYI. I guess signing to rushmore just means you get distro.

[RockVocalPower]

Hmm...

[IAmAmazing]

the track record signed to another label... i forgot who... i think ONE11 records?
serouisly? 111 is one of my favorite labels aside to DTR, so i really hope this is true

[StimulisRocker]

any good drummers in the lehigh-valley, pa area who wanna tour and are over 18 and are good ????? IM me @ MASTHMCPB

have you even heard socratic's old stuff? it was TERRIBLE. no joke. no piano, highschool stuff, no good.
funeral masses was the change in sound...

the only change after that (which really doesn't sound that different to me, a little more piano, a little less poppy...i don't know, i like the 'i am the doctor'-esque stuff better anyway) was their choice. they don't play funeral masses anymore because they don't like it...

i don't know what's going on with adelphi or anyone else (but i don't blame them, the new walking on the ceiling of the sky stuff is way way better than attention), though.

[suburbn_thrills]

Yeah, my friend who's band has the same lawyer as madison told me this a couple days ago...apparently it's some sort of lawyer/label problem that is basically leaving them no other choice but to call it quits. It's a shame.

[ape dos mil]

That's so fucking shitty. This band puts on a decent live show, even though I haven't seen them in a year, and writes some of the catchiest lyrics out there, and to have some label shit come around and fuck them in the ass, fuck that. This band is seriously better than most of the bands who were ever on Drive Thru. And I think the new stuff is awesome and I was anticipating the new album. And even though this probably doesn't make a difference, but Richard and Stephanie will never see a fucking dime from me.

[TheYoneBone]

yeow, plain and simple



rushmore didnt give a fuck about these dudes. They're good friends of mine and a great band. they recorded dozens of demos (all of which i have heard and all of which are fucking awesome). Richard never payed attention to them. They sent him emails "have you listened to our demos yet?" his response...."GO FUCK YOURSELF"




they couldnt get out of a shitty deal they never should have signed in the first place, nothing was getting done. The only way to progress as human beings was to break up.






and for the record all any of them wanted was to play music for their fans, to write, record, and support an EP or full length ANYTHING new.


its a damn shame that they broke up, and anyone in this thread who is talking shit should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

OH and yes they did change their sound....rushmore made them because dtr and rushmore have a "no screaming" rule

[BettyDavisDance]

Overrated band. The one song's music is identical to The Juliana Theory, I am surprised no one caught onto this.

[BettyDavisDance]

the track record is still with rushmore. 111 would not pick this band up

[BallsInYoFace!]

You guys are forgetting about Houston Calls, they are a Rushmore band....However it seems they are still doing everything DYI. I guess signing to rushmore just means you get distro.

Hahaha what are they doing DIY?! They have a booking agent, label, and publicist! What's DIY about that?

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but if you think they're booking their own tours and setting up their own shit, you are sorely mistaken.

[Chris Fallon]

I've never gotten into them too much, but some of their old demos are pretty good. And I've liked the new stuff they've released thus far.

Shame though...if Rushmore really is shitty to their bands, I hope this doesn't put any damper on The Mile After's album plans. I really enjoy them.

Yes, I have heard old socratic, and it is terrible...I guess I was just disappointed with the full-length.
But what I said was entirely just speculation based on what I have seen or heard.

[moonlights]

oops, i didn't mean to be like...rude about that, rereading my wording. haha sorry. but i misread your post entirely and thought you were saying funeral masses was a change. and i was like yes..and it's obvious why anyone would want to change from the old stuff, haha. i do know that that change (and the change from funeral masses to lunch for the sky) had nothing really to do with drive-thru. i know nothing about the other bands and someone else in this thread said madison's change was due to drive-thru.

from what i've heard of the new stuff it's more upbeat and happier sounding than a lot of lunch for the sky so if you liked funeral masses you'll probably like the new stuff more than lunch for the sky. then again, i've only heard a few new songs and except the one they played live before adam left (blend in) i've only heard them acoustic....and considering how many unreleased songs they have written who knows if those will be the new songs they're putting on their next release.

Haha...Hey, it's cool. I said what I said hoping someone would correct me or drop any information...So it's all good.
I will be interested to hear how new Socratic sounds. They played a new song when I saw them live...I can't remember how it sounded though. But I did get to play wiffleball against them that day. It was me and Park vs. Socratic. And Vinnie sang us an acoustic song. Haha, good times.

[StarterFinisher]

as someone very close to the band....
If you want to blame anyone for this blame those pigs @ Drive Thru.
Fact: Madison asked to be let out of their contract after richard and stephanie werent liking their demos since they are trying to change every band into some mature gay sound they are trying to promote. Madison I am sure will make the demos available. They sounded like the DTR people loved and the label got popular with unlike the unlistenable shit they put out now from socratic and thier ilk. Rochard and Stephanie opress bands with their shitty opinions on a band who knew what they wanted their record to sound like and not letting them record untill they "matured". Thay have an agenda of where they want this music scene to go and the push it on bands who really do not want anything to do with thier shitty taste.

Richard and Stephanie agreed to drop the band but then to torture the band it has been nearly 6 months since that happened. They have had their lawyers stall it evenbthough everything has been agreed upon and madison cant shop themselves to other labels. DTR wants money back from thier signing bonus which the band does not have. Between this and not having the support of a label, the band can no longer function and has acumulated debt from van breakdowns etc. They just cant keep going.

I know my spelling is wrong but it doesn't diguise the every word in this I watched with my own 2 eyes with no speculation.

Blame those assholes at DTR. They have become the greedy major label bullshit punk and underground music is supposed to stand againt. Oh yeah I am sure Madison is feeling a little bent out of shape for all the times that freak richard had them walk on his back like the pervert he is. Really sucks having a pervert exploit teenagers. I am surprised Michael Jackson never had him over for dinner.

i could see this being true for sure. the whole thing i don't get is if they wanted them to have a completely opposite sound from what they had, why the fuck sign them in the first place. i'm sure they could have found a million bands that would fit the mold they were looking for without having to risk people rejecting the new madison sound if they liked the old stuff.

and whether you like them or not, they are nice guys and their passion is music and though they are young, they have been doing it for a long time and because of this bullshit they are forced to break up and that is just not right under any circumstances.

[moonlights]

haha let me guess, you and park owned them, yeah?

the new song you're thinking is the one i mentioned...blend in...i actually don't remember too well how that one sounds either because when i saw them play it there were no vocals because the venue's sound sucked, thanks vegas.

awww, i love vinny's voice. it sounds so much better live than it does recorded.

[rewindthistime]

that would be kind of amazing.



ok i'm thinking of things here. i once was told that nightmare of you got out of their drivethru commitment by submitting hella shitty demos. and madison is/was sort of a screamo-type band. well. what if they submitted shitty screamo songs? idk i'm trying here :\

yea, I'm not quite sure where he was going with that.

I heard Adelphi had to record and pay for the recording of their demos themselves because Drive-thru didn't like the sound they were going for. Drive-Thru is a joke.

Legitametaly this is someone who knows what they are talking about BELIEVE THIS! I am one of the many unfortunate who have been duped into walking on that scum bag pedofiles back and many of your fav bands on other labels have done so as well. All dtr consists of is lies, and kiddy porn, you wanna get signed to them get your best 16yr olds out.... and when you wear sandals to the douche bags house try not to get creeped out when he whipps out a fresh pair of socks cause he knows youll be cracking that back. seriously i think bands who have been fucked by this scum bag and his fat ass lesbo sister should step up and get this peddy out there as one. Needs to be some megans law type shit on him

yeahh my brother said that when his band went to his house in jersey they had to walk on his back too..kinda creepy.

either way madison was a pretty good band..and i hope someday..they will get back together.

[myworstmistakes]

he actually makes people walk on his back? that is the fuckin weirdest thing i've ever heard.

[Jons]

I'm afraid that the rumors are true. Sept 1 is the final show by Madison. I know these guys and they are some of the nicest guys around. They love to write and perform. Music was their thing. They're not into all the political bullshit that goes with signing to a label. They've been strung around by DTR for years now and they've had enough. If DTR doesn't want to record them then they should let them move on to another label. Why keep jerking them around? What purpose does it serve? Whether you like their sound or not, they played from their heart and put on one hell of a show. It seems true that nice guys finish last. It's a damn shame. I'm going to this show but I'll probably cry. Come out and show your support. This is it for a young bunch of talented kids that had their hopes & dreams crushed by politics & greed. LET THEM GO DRIVETHRU. Richard, please give these kids a break and let them move on. What's the sense in being a dick. Instuct your attorney to release them. You do your thing and let Madison do theirs. You'll be admired for doing the right thing instead of letting a good bunch of kids crash & burn. Have a heart Richard & Stepanie PLEASE!

[Julia Conny]

I heard that Rushmore will be closing its doors soon. Not like it would matter anyway.

[moonlights]

I heard that Rushmore will be closing its doors soon. Not like it would matter anyway.
yeah, i've heard this too. i've been looking for details on it but alas, there are none to be found.

[bruisexblackeye]

drive-thru & rushmore have been screwing their bands for the past year or more.

one of the BEST albums of last year (I Am The Avalanche's self-titled) got JACK for promotion & they wouldn't even let them shoot the video they were CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO GIVE THEM.

richard & stefanie make me sick.
