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 backgrounds from each musician gives an interesting twist on modern rock music. Madison Project lyrics touch on the subject life, loss, nightmares, addiction, and this other world that we might find but are blind to see.

Ryan MacNeill grew up in the suburbs of Worcester, Massachusetts and heavily influenced by the expanding community of the local street punk scene. Then branching out to the West Coast underground scene of the mid 90's punk rock bands, most of the bands 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. Then relocated back to his homestate of Vermont.

Madison Project connected with producer and engineer Frank Aversa (Spin Doctors/The Hazies) and 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 and leave you in bliss. "I am the Target,' is set to release on ThunderCreek Records.
