For the last four years the results of the fusion between two existing hip-hop combos with a rock band can be heard in the Dresden crossover band MADRUST. With the unusual line-up of 3 MCs, guitar, bass, drums, saxophone, DJ and sampler, MADRUST make their mark using a wide spectrum of sound. With innovative songs, uncompromising and powerful sounds and catchy and expressive texts – which are mostly in German – the guys from MADRUST show that partly old-school oriented crossover doesn’t have to sound stale. The band’s first album offers a varied cross section of the musical creativity of the 8 musicians. With the single release “Grandios Amigos” MADRUST have composed a song which embodies humour and fun in playing. The ideal track for that hot beach party – Mexico feeling! To round things off, a Videoclip to accompany this track has also been produced. This is due to appear on a maxi-single soon, along with the song, the radio–edit, the unplugged version as well as the remix. In addition to the studio album the crossover octet is also a special experience live. The musical stage show is supplemented by humorous outfits, appropriate to the songs. The current band homepage is a treat for the eye and the ear and contains a whole lot of info about the band, concert reports and pictures: www.madrust.com
