+
+ + Center of the Surf + +
+
+
+

“ + Here’s a secret: I love recorded music, possibly more than live music + and very few bands that I love sound better than their album to me. + The Madeira sounded better live, and this recording of them live + sounds better than they did live... It’s an absolutely glorious amount + of noise, a gigantic wall of sound that’ll leave you thinking “whoa” + in-between tracks...[T]he awe-inspiring climax of the event [was] when + they were joined by Johnpaul Balak and John Blair for a ridiculous 5 + guitar massacre.... It really does sound massive and ferocious, and + not to mention they’re played at a faster tempo than their album + versions... This is a really incredible live record and perhaps the + best way to hear some of the greatest hits of one of the greatest surf + bands." + ”

“ + Center of the Surf is music that bursts the boundaries of its genre; + it’ll connect with anyone who loves rock composition and performance + at its highest level... The Madeira’s drive and intensity never flag. + Ivan Pongracic’s scorching lead lines and Patrick O’Connor’s + unflagging rhythm work serve up all the guitar you can stand and more, + breaking through to surf nirvana; Todd Fortier on bass and Dane Carter + on drums pump up the adrenaline, barreling through with unstoppable + power and momentum.... And just when it seems Center of the Surf + can’t get any more exciting, The Madeira are joined onstage by John + Blair on second rhythm guitar and Jonpaul Balak on second bass guitar. + The results on “Tribal Fury”, “Sandstorm” and “Intruder” are even more + immersive: the thickened texture, intensified groove, and vaulting + solo lines both amp up the thrills and bring out the lush romanticism + at the core of the band’s melodies. The audience at Surf Guitar 101’s + 2017 convention erupts with delighted applause and encouragement at + every opportunity throughout the Madeira’s set — and their reaction’s + on the money! Recorded and mixed by Beach Boys go-to producer Mark + Linnet, this is a gleaming, glorious winner of an album + ”
