Madhouse

O

riginally starting out under the name Red Machete in 1983, the act featured Doug Braun (guitars), John Irick (vocals), Wayne King (bass) and Roy Barker (drums).

In 1990 the band would reunite as Madhouse to release their self-titled full-length. In 1992 the vocal slot would go into flux with three men occupying it in quick success in the form of Robert Diamond (1992-1993), A. J. McAlleff (1993-1994) and Tony Taylor (1994) before the return of Jamie Devoll.

It would be more than a decade before any new recordings would come in the form of Everything Kills (2007) and Thanks for Nothing (2009).

Back in 1994 the act would land an international record deal with 'Spin Records' to release Everything Kills, but in 1995 a legal dispute commenced whereby the band got ownership over their past recordings dating all the way back to 1996.
