Mad River embodies the indomitable exuberance of rock by oscillating between petulance and precision. Their recipe? A dose of rock with a post-punk flavor – Sonics, Stooges, Blur, Buzzcocks, Yeah Yeah Yeahs – a zest of lyricism and a pinch of sensual wildness available in English. Imbued with fragility, the voice of Kim Ohio Fuzz mixes with the unbridled and melodious riffs of Fabrice Fortin and the frantic rhythms of Damien Chauvet "Christ". Their atypical formation – absence of bass – illustrates their singularity and their strength.
On stage, Mad River excels by releasing powerful energy and unleashing a cascade of rock madness. ★
