Madison Project was formed in the winter of 2006. Ryan MacNeill(guitar/vocals) and Forrest Thomas (drums) left their previous band to pursue a different path musically. Ryan started to turn a new direction in writing, with heavier songs and more focus on songwriting and hooks. In the fall of 2006, they met up with bassist Ben Kogan from Boston, MA. The diverse background from each musician gives an interesting twist to modern rock music. Madison Projects’ lyrics touch on the subject of life, loss, nightmares, addiction, and this other world that we might find but are too blind to see. Ryan MacNeill grew up in the suburbs of Worcester, Massachusetts and was heavily influenced by the expanding community of the local street punk scene, later branching out to the West Coast underground scene of the mid 90's punk rock bands, most of which were located in the Southern California area. Ryan has played on the Van's Warped Tour stage and shared the stage with national acts such as The Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Dispatch. Forrest spent his early days in Los Angeles; playing drums frequently at clubs like The Roxy, Troubadour and The Whiskey Go-Go. He then relocated back to his home state of Vermont. Madison Project connected with Producer/Engineer Frank Aversa (Spin Doctors/The Hazies) and Musical Director Robby Baier to record their debut album, "I Am The Target." Madison Project is a high energy live show that will bring your soul to a new level.” I am the Target,' is set for release on ThunderCreek Records.
