Mad Bliss, a native Israeli band, exploded onto the indie alternative music scene in 2000, quickly becoming a role model for the “Do It Yourself” attitude. Their first album release, “Karen’s Molested Apple (2002),” hit the Israeli national charts at third place; an accomplishment earning them immediate national recognition. Ffollowing their national success, Mad Bliss released their full-length album, “ Heaven Through Old Eyes,” capturing international radio play on “88FM” and “Antena.” Moreover, having been honored with a Billboard Magazine's 2008 Song Contest award, Mad Bliss gained substantial international media attention.
Currently signed to Oleh! Records, Mad Bliss is working on their third album; soon scheduled to hit the road in the US in spring of 2011. Earning the title of "one of Israel's best live shows (Tel-Aviv Time Magazine)”, Mad Bliss is sure to cause ripples when they hit the international stage on tour, as their audience is dedicated, loving and addicted.
The band simply explains that Mad Bliss is about realizing one’s frailty and discovering the feelings of dread and beauty that follow. Their music is the process of that realization. Not totally unlike Ocean Size, My Bloody Valentine, Jeff Buckley, Blind Melon and APC, the band’s philosophy is to create the scene, not make it. The band is composed of 4 professional musicians, that when collaborating create a unique blend of dream rock, ambient, psychedelic rock and extreme metal. Reflecting on their distinctive sound, Big Baer Magazine claims that Mad Bliss is, "immediately recognizable with the same raw emotion, muted intensity and sense of something more, that flavored early Pink Floyd."
Mad Bliss’s musical ambiance is so unique that they even have critics running in circles trying to pinpoint the exact genre that describes them best; College rock, Jam rock, Grunge, Progressive rock, New Wave, Post punk, Shoegaze, Dream pop, Trip Hop, and Extreme metal – just to name a few. Perhaps, the fans say it best, "it feels like tripping in a dream, something that cannot be explained and reported back, but the experience is profound and still echoes in my mind” (Israeli Blogger) Beyond all, “there is something magnetizing and passionate about Mad Bliss (Maelstron Magazine)."
