Madtguans get ready to ‘blow the scene’ with their new album ‘Fullforce, taken from The Antigua Observer titles "Mad T Guans reborn and recharged" By Theresa Gordon - Friday, May 17th, 2013 "We knew them as members of the “Juggle for Life” crew, when the nation began noticing them on the musical scene in 2010 and subsequently the Carnival stage. From their songs Movie and KFC, they sure left a savory taste with fans. Well the Mad-T-Guans, as they are now called, are back, and back with a vengeance promising Carnival lovers and fans a taste of their “rebirth.” The group is stepping it up a notch this year with a pre-release of its debut album titled Full Force. According to Manager Kem Hodge, the double album, which is still in the making, is a combination of groovy and jumpy tunes. “The album has about 12 songs groovy and will have the same amount of jumpy songs,” Hodge said. He explained the tunes, which have been in rotation on the airwaves since April, showcase the group’s versatility and growth as artistes. Hodge said fans would definitely be in for a treat when the entire album is released in the summer. The preview includes new and exclusive tracks such as Bacchanal Addiction, Party Hard, Island Girl; Smile a Lot, Waiting for You and Punchinella. “It’s a rebirth of the guys – an improvement of what they brought to the table in 2012,” Hodge said. “In previous years the songs were out there but they did not have the same effect.” He added,”We basically rebranded everything, went back the drawing board. We have better sounding and more mature music.” Members of the group – former Soca King Joel “Hard Knaxx” Lewis, Dorian “Twenty-Two” Sampson, Seth “Set-On” Alexander, Raffique “Lyrical Reds” Edwards, Juney “Jukey Dan” James – are in high spirits about this year’s offering. The Mad-T-Guans are known for their ability to perform and are also versed in the dancehall genre of music."
