"Ottawa take notice; your senators can’t play as hard as these guys do.
Straight out of our nation’s capital comes five guys with a blast of good old southern rock that has mated with a one night stand from your favorite old tavern whiskey hole."

Hunter City Madness is a five man rock influenced metal core band from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The like-minded ideas of these young men took shape in the spring of 2009 and combined to form a hellish tribute to the eternal outlaw, the rebel and the renegade. Armed to the teeth with a ferociously creative musical approach and a take-no-prisoners attitude, Hunter City Madness will grip you tight, kick your ass to next Sunday and then buy you a beer afterwards. With blistering fury, they take the stage and pull-no-punches. They leave their blood and sweat on the floor and when the smoke clears and the amplifier’s dissident tones recede; you will know that you have just experienced Hunter City Madness.
Drawing inspiration from a veritable melting pot of artistic influences including southern rock, metal, punk and classic rock, these high-spirited party animals take their love for the music they create and spread it like a wildfire for all to feel the burn.
"As a genuine fan of all things rock and metal I think HCM bridges that gap admirably while staying true to their sound. The clean parts are still a little dirty and that wall of guitar noise is omnipresent. I bet this slays hard live because HCM sound bound and determined to rip it but good."

In the last two years HCM has played over 50 shows all over Ontario and Quebec with notable bands such as Anti-Flag, Baptized in Blood, Dead and Divine, and Counterparts, to name a few. With the release of their debut EP, their rock and roll train is only picking up steam. In the two years that they have been together, they've also embarked on two cross Ontario tours. The Hunt is on… Tour’ with Gunsmith in 2009, and again on the Ride the Moustache Tour with Assassinate the Following in 2010. They also won two college battles of the bands, obtained media coverage from numerous sources including Indielove.ca, and Pain TV, have their music played in regular rotation on various radio stations in Quebec and Ontario, gained endorsements from Shred Clothing, and much more.
During the fall of 2009 the band traveled to St. Hyacinthe, Quebec to work with Matt Laperle at Red Dusk Studios. These booze-drenched, early morning sessions of depravity put to music, eventually became the band’s debut seven song EP “See You in Hell.” With the release of their debut EP "See You in Hell" Hunter City Madness plan to come out swinging full-force. The EP has received praise from numerous sources in the music scene including PureGrainAudio.com, and HardTimes.ca; and is now available on iTunes, Amazon, Napster, and more. It is also being played in regular rotation on CJLO Radio at Concordia University in Montreal, CHUO Radio at Ottawa University, and CKDJ Radio at Algonquin College in Ottawa as well as on internet radio stations such as Hard Rock Radio Live, HellHound Radio and MetalNet Radio.
"We can sit and name a bunch of bands that have valiantly attempted to tangle with both beasts and ended up getting a horn here and a hoof there. Hunter city Madness is 2 concepts into one; like when one says vegetarian ground-beef or liquid metal, ideas that normally we don't put together that work. Unlike the platypus, this concepts not only works; it works incredibly well. Hunter city Madness is a full on beast with all its parts in sync and streamlined to perfection. Hunter City Madness comes out of the creation pit kicking and screaming with a blend that finally justifies the genre and gives new meaning to the term “hard” rock."
