Hadouken! – M.A.D EP, watch video + 2009 tour dates

By bandweblogs on Sep 16, 2009 in Bands, Music News, New Releases, Press Releases, Videos | Tags: , , , , ,

Hadouken! return with a brand new EP out now that cements their reputation as Britain’s most dynamic and forward-thinking young band.

Hadouken!

Recorded in Holland with gilded Dutch electronic dance producers Noisia, the M.A.D EP is proof of further massive progression for the quintet who met in Leeds at university just three years ago.

The EP evolves the cutting edge dance-rock sound unveiled on their UK number 12 debut album, 2008’s Music For An Accelerated Culture, by delivering tracks that are harder, louder, more rhythmic and tightly focused than anything they’ve attempted before, or than anything else on offer by their contemporaries.

Watch “M.A.D.” video:

If an historic comparison was to be attempted, cast your mind far back to the earliest, comparatively sketchy works by the likes of the Prodigy or the Chemical Brothers. Then recall the impact when each delivered in turn Voodoo People and Block Rockin’ Beats. That’s the kind of leap forward successfully maneuvered here. Britain’s next great dance-rock band have arrived.

There are also three remixes of M.A.D on the EP by Detboi, Phace and Plastician respectively, as well as two more brand new tracks: “Something Very BAD,” which is exclusive to this EP, and a dub of “Ugly”, a track that will appear in a different form on the forthcoming, as yet untitled second album.

As anyone who witnessed the reception lavished on not just old favourites but also when new material such as M.A.D was recently road-tested in front of packed festival audiences at Exit, Optimus and Underage will testify, the stars are currently aligning for Hadouken!’s much-anticipated return. Buckle up.

Track listing:

1. M.A.D
2. Something Very Bad
3. Ugly (Dub Mix)
4. M.A.D (Detboi Remix)
5. M.A.D (Plastican Remix)
6. M.A.D (Phace Remix)
