Sweet Madness - Distributed by Light In The Attic
First run of Sweet Madness, "Made In Spokane" 1978-1981 is gone! Praised by critics, and out into the hands of original Pacific NW post-punks!New video for "I Don't Want To be A Number" by Sweet Madness off of "Made In Spokane 1978-1981"
New press about the collection, distributed by Light In The Attic:"A sharp Pacific Northwest answer to Elvis Costello (’78, 79) . . . combined with the hyper intelligent energy of Devo . . .. with the animating, Nerves-like “Put on Hold” and kinetic “Tired Blood.” . . . a tasty straddle where quick punk and new wave coalesce like White Music/Go 2 XTC . . . from a band this spiky, a vigorous DIY outbreak would spring." —Jack Rabid, Big Takeover"An unerring knack for infectiously quirky No Wave pop . . . Redolent of White Music-era XTC . . . aggressive, Gang Of Four-esque . . . allows their legacy to strike out beyond the constraints of geography. Four Stars!" —Record Collector, London"Sweet Madness — a no-wave outfit credited with introducing Spokane to punk rock, a group that wrote original songs when no other band here did . . . a buzzing, frenetic energy . . . arty, electric pop music with just enough sneer to call it punk . . . getting more attention than ever." —Spokane Inlander"With a toe into punk, they were the first band in…all of Eastern Washington (and Idaho), to actively push beyond . . .. An AWESOME BAND . . . F*ck, yeah . . . 16 tracks . . . I love them all . . .. There ain’t no filler . . . they’re all movers. I’m real stoked on this, it’s been awhile since this much of a solid wave/power-pop group has been unearthed." —Mike Nipper, The Stranger, Seattle***
