Patriot Come Lately talk radio episode 125 - Madison Rising

For this minor milestone, something a little different. In the recent July 4th special episode I played a rock version of our national anthem by Madison Rising, and tonight I am proud to have some members of the band join me.  We will discuss how they came to record these patriotic themed songs, and how the liberal entertainment industry has reacted to their obvious right-wing messages. Of course I will also play some of their music.

Madison Rising‘s self-titled debut album was released in October 2011. The band – with Dave Bray on vocals, Alex Bodnar and Christopher Schreiner lead guitar, Steve Padelski on bass and Sam Fishman on drums – makes guitar heavy rock music with a distinctively pro-American message and sound. The overarching theme of the band’s music is that of liberty, independence, smaller government, and personal responsibility. Madison Rising believes that they can help revive patriotism and use their music as a way to get today’s youth more excited about politics.

They have also started the One Million Star Spangled Challenge, check it out at http://www.starspangledbannerchallenge.com/

Join us live if you can for a slightly different Patriot Come Lately show.
