Madder Rose belongs to the forgotten cult bands of the 90s, but just like on the comeback album from 2019, the American band also shows on No One Gets Hurt Ever that it is capable of great deeds The American band Madder Rose delivers its sixth album with No One Gets Hurt Ever and it is
their sixth excellent album with very melodic songs and the great guitar work of Billy Coté and by the beautiful voice of singer Mary Lorson, who would make two great albums after Madder Rose as Saint Low.. After the four unsung masterpieces from the 90s, the band surprisingly returned in 2019 and four years later there is fortunately another new album by Madder Rose.
Billy Coté and Mary Lorson still manage to inspire each other in which 90s indie rock and a touch of psychedelics merge beautifully. The band will probably never rise above cult status.
The band’s new album also revolves around the guitar work, production and songs of Billy Coté and the still beautiful voice of Mary Lorson. Madder Rose also quotes from the music it made in the 90s on her sixth album, but this time the band sounds just a bit less gritty, although the guitar work is certainly there and there is room for modest guitar walls here and there.
Especially when the guitars sound a bit more psychedelic and Mary Lorson sings full of incantation, the comparison with Mazzy Star is again obvious, but Cowboy Junkies also provides absolutely relevant comparison material. With this I have two of my favorite bands of all time, but No One Gets Hurt Ever ultimately sounds like Madder Rose,
When I think of the name Madder Rose, I first think of the four great albums that the American band released in the 90s. With 1993’s Bring It Down, 1994’s Panic On, 1997’s Tragic Magic and 1999’s Hello June Fool, the New York-based band delivered four classics.
