Chicago's Madina Lake is definitely not your run of the mill rock band. Hardworking and dedicated from the start, they've always had their eyes on the goal of reaching as many people with their music as possible. The identical twins, Nathan and Matthew proved their dedication to their dream by competing and winning on the twins episode of reality show FEAR FACTOR and turning their winnings into the demos that would get them signed to Roadrunner. Since then the band has been tearing up the road, with over 150 shows in 2006 opening for Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Paramore, Halifax, 10 Years, Gym Class Heroes and many more. Now after winning fans every night on stage, the band is ready to expand their clan of "River People," as their fans are called, with their debut full length From Them, Through Us, To You. Produced and mixed by punk/emo master Mark Trombino (Blink-182, Jimmy Eat World, Motion City Soundtrack, Something Corporate), the album is full of catchy hooks that will draw the listener in, where they will find an addictive album full of elaborate textures and layers. Never ones to do anything the norm, the album's themes, artwork and the band's website all revolve around the story of Madina Lake, a fictional 1950's town where a mysterious disappearance has turned the town upside down.
