FoxPuppy I can't express how much I love the melodies and music made by this man. Just enough cynicism to let you know he lives in our world, but then he reflects that world with such melodic poetry. If you want something deep, it's there for the listening, but if you just want to hear fun alt-country-rock, this will definitely fit that bill.

Alpha Chrome Yayo Muscular in its masculinity and fragility, this is an emotionally hefty yet incredibly fun romp.

With echoes of Warren Zevon, Harry Chapin and Wes Anderson, it's a globe-trotting collection of far-reaching tracks par excellence, smartly dressed in some fetching, understated art too. Favorite track: The Second Time Around.

Bruiser

ok wow.. this is such raw and well crafted retrowave.. it's got s specific drive to it... This is NOT samples and sounds from the internet, you can tell DM spent hours and hours fine tuning this. it has the sequencer effects paired with wicked guitar solos that are powerful but mellow, perfect for driving.. it suddenly dawned on me that DM reminds me of a specific 80s band. ACY will probably agree.. RED RIDER!! "Lunatic Fringe", "Cowboys In Hong Kong" Shane Dangers

Radial
by Danny Madigan

supported by 9 fans who also own “Contact Sports”

The premier full length LP from the extraordinary talent that is Danny Madigan, Radial is a fearsome album which asserts his position as an incredible, resourceful songwriter, musician and producer. There are huge swathes of emotion, textures and timbres on show here, but the Numan-esque throb and swagger of 'For the World is Hollow...' stands out. With crashing waves of post-punk riffage and triumphant chorus, it feels like a statement of intent - Madigan means business. Best pay attention. Alpha Chrome Yayo

HOT STEAM RISING FROM THE ASPHALT
by Danny Madigan

supported by 8 fans who also own “Contact Sports”

The spirit of Lalo Schifrin runs freely throughout this EP of cinematic synthwave. Mean streets, shady dealings and high calibre revolvers come to mind, in Danny Madigan's world of night flights and gun fights. It's Harry Callahan with a .44 and a fat bass. Alpha Chrome Yayo
