It's amazing how far a band can come in just over a year. Madcap has truly come from "east to west" with their sound, and has developed it into a nitty gritty punk rock machine. Yes, "Stand Your Ground" was a quality freshman production from the band but "East To West" is in a leage of it's own. It's not a shock that some may not like their sound, but those fans of raw punk (real punk) will be fans of this latest release. Even those of you who have yet to hear Madcap should give the disc a rotation or two. The boys behind the barbeque at the 2001 Warped Tour have put together what should definately be labeled as one of the most solidified punk rock albums of 2002. They're a band that play for the love of the music and not for the fame, but hopefully "East To West" will earn them the respect they have been deserving of since being established. One thing which is evident from the beginning of "East To West" is that the newly divided vocals of Johnny and Alfredo of Madcap are surely a step in the right direction. The balance and flavor is richer and different but at the same time, they keep that tone that has helped them become Madcap. Twelve tracks, four talented punks, no disappointments, PRICELESS!
