Info zu We're Bringing Dubstep Back!
On their debut album We're Bringing Dubstep Back!, the forward thinking band Madmax invites listeners into their diverse, high energy musical universe. The ten tracks span a wide range of sounds and moods: rattling surf rock gives way to neon lit, Shibuya crossing inspired math rock riffs; a buoyant, tongue in cheek art pop song about having one's livelihood stolen as a musician channels grief through furious fuzz guitar and a yearning tuba solo; a contrapuntal, Copacabana inspired serenade with wavering glockenspiel collides with intense synths and guitar solos; snarling punk riffs are interrupted by fragmented children's melodies and Duracell like hyperpop; western style guitar accompanies flowing Tristano esque lines on salon piano; chaotic sugar rush disco is elevated by synth programmed cuica; meditative soundscapes unfurl into delicate pop; and finally, sampling meets frenzied pinball.
The album title is a dryly humorous nod to the maximal dubstep of the 2010s, with the band playfully claiming to bring the style back into the spotlight. The genre carries nostalgia for the band members, who were all born around the turn of the millennium. Hardcore dubstep fans will likely be disappointed - because this music cannot really be called dubstep - but that raises the question of what it actually is. What Madmax shares with dubstep, undeniably, is unpredictability and boldness - you never quite know what's around the next corner, and the band is fearless in playing with extremes.

Madmax
is a forward-leaning band started by four friends at “jazzlinja” in Trondheim. With the exotic line-up of tuba, synth, vocals, guitar, and drums, and a rather nonchalant attitude towards genre boundaries, the band plays fearless music that is perfect for both unrestrained dancing and contemplation. Described as everything from “experimental and dynamic bonkers-rock”, “jazzy and artistic math rock with tuba” (GAFFA.no), to “psychedelic pop” (Audun Vinger, Jazzinorge) and “surrealistic” (Radio Revolt), Madmax is a live-experience a little out of the ordinary.
“(...) The textures vary from Velcro to velvet, the songwriting is engaging, and the musical talent is immediately apparent." - Miles Hermann Flikke/GAFFA.no
“It grooves dangerously (...). I notice that the city's younger concertgoers have begun to close their eyes as they do in Bergen.” - Audun Vinger/Jazzinorge
“The band appears musically unafraid of anything that resembles resistance. It sounds catchy and it’s easy to bring your own body into the music as an audience member.” - Samuel Petterson, Moldepuls
The band was formed in 2022 and has since played concerts at Trondheim Calling, Oslo Jazz Festival, Dokkhuset Scene and Salt, among others. In the summer of 2024, they had their international debut during a work stay at La Maison Matrice in Switzerland. Here they wrote much of the music that will appear on their first album: “We’re bringing dubstep back!”. The album was recorded in Studio Paradiso with Martin Tonne (Pom Poko) as producer, and will be released on Jazzland Recordings on March 20, 2026. The band released “u stole my guitar :(“, the first single from the album, on January 29. In the spring of 2026, they will play as one of eight bands in the prestigious program Jazzintro, and embark on a Norwegian tour to promote their debut album.
