Madeline added to Riot Act roster

I am very very very excited to announce that Riot Act has added Madeline to our roster of artists! She's releasing a truly gorgeous B-Sides album on January 3rd, which is available for order now through her label, This Will Be Our Summer.

Madeline Adams has been performing simply as Madeline for the last decade. As a teenager she relocated from her hometown of Athens, Georgia to Bloomington, Indiana to work with the punk label Plan-It-X Records (Japanther, Against Me, Defiance, Ohio). After a few years and many punk tours Madeline moved back home to work with Orange Twin Records releasing several albums in collaboration with Phosphorescent, the Athens based Elephant 6 Collective (Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control, Nana Grizol), Phil Elverum (Mt. Eerie), Karl Blau (The Microphones) and her own Black Velvet Band.

When Madeline Adams first started playing shows around Athens, Georgia, no one could ever remember her last name, so she just stuck with Madeline for the name of her band, which she refers to as a 4-piece rock band with a twist.

B-Sides, Madeline’s latest release, is a collection of favorites, rarities, and previously unreleased songs left off of her first album, Black Velvet. Heart achingly gorgeous, melodic, strong, hopeful, and yearning – B-Sides is a first aid tackle box for anything that’s ailing you or giving you the good griefs.
