We have very unique bone structures, ranging from wide teeth gaps, to oversized noses, and midget twins. ” -  Madina Lake Youtube account.

- Impromptu Chat
matthew: like, when i have to wake up early, before body intends, why do i always have a song repeating all farukin day?
matthew: i wondered often, if when we called it a life, we would get to discover all that we’ve pondered. or…
matthew: reality instead of our living artifice of so..
matthew: perception. big bad MOAB of you ole ego… nice weapon you’ve designed in your arsenal
matthew: somehow you’ve managed to turn our perception into our reality.
matthew: cheeky, our friends to the east might say
matthew: speaking of which…i’ve found it to be a conundrum in that the brits have a rep for their sarcastic dry sense of humor
matthew: mine is an extreme version of that, that’s akin to wine
matthew: the more you know me, the better it gets
matthew: however,
matthew: when doing press, it’s impossible to eschew that
matthew: and as a result, it has backfired dramatically
matthew: because, i’m american and largely, we’re like special ed, so my remarks are destroyed by one simple character
matthew: our dear not friend, the exclamation mark
matthew: well ole chap…it’s been a pleasure i’ll see you in bed, i’ve got lots to discuss about childhood, confidence, esteem…oh you know
matthew: you are who you are and what you are based on the dominating thoughts that occupy your mind
matthew: and i just learned that the body regenerates itself wholly in one year
matthew: that’s right…sub atomic particles… we’re made of atoms
matthew: and our thoughts are literally energy
matthew: they also are the captains of your organ’s ship
matthew: so steer them well.
matthew: in 2 weeks, you will have a brand new stomach lining
matthew: and every other organ in succession until lastly, ye ole dome
matthew: that takes the longest to regenerate, as i’m learning the hard way
matthew: anyways, feel your body good thoughts if you want a nice new 2011 model organ
matthew: adios amigo….
matthew: if you post this, they’ll think you’re totally insane now
matthew: well well well dear ego, you haven’t been paying attention have you?
matthew: these are the River People…and this is Madina. in this town, all we do is love….
matthew: xoxoxoxoxo!

- “Put it this way – probably 5 % of people actually do what they go to school for and probably 90% of those 5% change careers at least 3 times anyway and 70% of all statistics are bullshit lol”

- “Fuck yesterday, everything that happened yesterday fuck it, it’s gone, it’s done. Already happened. Okay? And fuck tomorrow because tomorrow never really comes, you know what I’m saying? Fuck it. Nothing you can do about that. Anyone who is annoying you, anybody who drives you absolutely fucking crazy, work, stress, school. Whatever is. Fuck it it’s gone. Right now it’s gone, okay?
We are right here, right now, together all of us the best of friends, okay?”

- “Okay we’re going to tell you something and you have to tell it everybody else okay?
Madina Lake is a band that does not give a shit about money. We don’t care about fame or celebrity or trends or clothes or anything like that okay?
We’re only sure about a few things.
One: I know we all have one thing in common and that is a passion for music, right?!
The only thing we care about tonight is meeting each and everyone of you guys okay?!”
