About MADMAX

Anna Ueland - synths / vocals
Niklas Heide - drums
Albert Rygh - guitar / vocals
Hermann Hestbek - tuba / electronics

With the exotic line-up of tuba, synth, vocals, guitar, and drums, and a rather nonchalant attitude towards genre boundaries, this forward leaning band play fearless music that is perfect for both unrestrained dancing and contemplation. Described as everything from “experimental and dynamic bonkers-rock”, “jazzy and artistic math rock with tuba”, to “psychedelic pop” and “surrealistic”, Madmax is a live-experience a little out of the ordinary.

The band was formed in 2022 and has since played concerts around Norway. In the summer of 2024, they had their international debut during a work stay at La Maison Matrice in Switzerland, where they wrote much of the music on their first album: “We’re bringing dubstep back!”. The album was recorded in Studio Paradiso with Martin Tonne (Pom Poko) as producer, and is released on Jazzland Recordings.

“(...) The textures vary from Velcro to velvet, the songwriting is engaging, and the musical talent is immediately apparent." - Miles Hermann Flikke/GAFFA.no

“The band appears musically unafraid of anything that resembles resistance. It sounds catchy and it’s easy to bring your own body into the music as an audience member.” - Samuel Petterson, Moldepuls
