Maybe, if The Cranberries had actually rocked, they would have sounded a lot like this. Madder Rose was one of many female fronted alternative bands that sprouted in the early 90’s, and while they failed to gain the success of a lot of their contemporaries, they did release some really good music. Led by guitarist Billy Cote and singer Mary Lorson, the band was much better than their lack of success would indicate. Panic On is their second album, and was the most successful of their brief career. Lorson’s pretty voice, alongside of the band’s ability to switch from heavy to light in the blink of an eye, makes Madder Rose worth your time. Plus, Panic On has some really good songs on it. “Car Song”, “What Holly Sees”, and “Drop A Bomb” are all excellent, and tracks like “Sleep, Forever” and “Foolish Ways” are fine as well.

But the reviews were mixed, and the better songs never quite made it to radio. They were compared favorably to The Velvet Underground, and like the Velvets, they were mostly ignored by the public. They released two more albums, Tragic Magic in 1997 and Hello June Fool in 1999 before calling it quits very quietly as a mostly unknown band. Those records, along with their debut, are lesser bodies of work than Panic On, which should have made them big, but perhaps the field was just too crowded with bands that were similar to them. If you get the chance, Panic On is worth checking out, especially if you’re a fan of the alternative rock that was happening during the early nineties. Lorson’s voice is solid, and the band is smart and solid. The songwriting is strong, and it’s unfortunate that this album spent its lifetime so far under the radar.

You seem to be a big Tom Petty fan. Nothing wrong with that, he's one of the great.
