“Ahoy fellow passengers,
It’s with a heavy heart, I bid you news that scores below average in the “good” department. I won’t belabor the uppity seas we’ve been navigating for the last year or so, as it seems to be old hat, like the October issue of People magazine that still resides in your bathroom. You’ve read it so throughly that now, you’ve gone so far as to read the editor’s letter in the beginning.
That said, I’m writing to inform you that Madina have to drop off of our current US tour with MTP, Hawthorne and Young Electric.
Life is a serious proposition you see. At this stage in our career, we can’t afford to sustain such a tour, under the current structure of it. We’ve high tailed it back and forth the US soil roughly 9 times over 6 years. As impossible of a decision as it was, we had to pull the plug. This time in our lives, finds us dealing with an attempt murder trial, a baby, recovery, loving patient wonderful wives, and a priority to tend to these things.
We believe we can create more with some time off, and shape Madina into the entity we envision it to be. Connecting with our friends all over the country is unrivaled in its splendor. Sadly, this treasured time is only 1 or 2 hours of the standard 24 hour day. The rest is difficult. This decision was made on the merit of what is best for Madina and its fans/friends and the wonderful future we aspire to experience with it.
We made dear friends with wonderful bands, Hawthorne Heights, Me Talk Pretty and Young Electric….continue to support the tour, as they won’d disappoint. To the cities we missed, we will make this up we promise.”
Keep your eyes peeled for a bunch of tour date additions to The Wake Up! Tour with Me Talk Pretty, Hawthorne Heights, Get Scared and New Years Day. We’re stoked to be adding another round of 2012 tour dates with these awesome bands! More news soon!

Good news! The guys said that they want to have chats every week. So every chat (if I’ll make it), I will make screenshots and post them here. Nathan and Dan were in Matthew’s appartment. I wished I took more screenshots, but somehow I decided to make them halfway the chat x)
I wish I got more of this. Nathan got on the balcony first and got through the window.
Nathan Leone, the lead singer for this Chicago post-hardcore outfit, gave it his all. “He was singing really hard,” says Williams. “His face was purple half the time.” – Andrew Williams, photographer.
Also, the new album, World War III, will be released on September 13th this year! Deadbeatz (friends from the guys) will be featured on this album aswell.
Congratulations to @MadinaLake bassist Matthew Leone and his new wife Autumn! Hope you have a long and happy life together. See you in Nov!
This tweet from Kerrang was posted today, congrats to the happy newly weds! Seems like they were married in Las Vegas.
