Four long years it has been in the making, but finally we are excited to see the much anticipated release of The Maddigans’ new record – No Place Like Here.

Just as predicted, it is a great collection of bubbly, rambunctious tunes with the most exuberant melodies, but in particular there are two of them which stand out.

First off is 42 Days, an impassioned and sentimental acoustic number which really struck a chord with us in a way we cannot explain; we would certainly love to see the group do more stripped material like this because they prove to be really talented at it.

The other is closing track A Little Bit Of Distance which also has an emotional edge and left stuck in our head afterwards.

Another excellent product from Canada’s premiere pop punk act.
