“Flying in all the way from Norway to Lennoxtown in the Campsie Fells on the outskirts of Glasgow, power-pop trio The Maudlin Hounds not only turned in a stunning set of hook infested good time rock ‘n’ roll, but undoubtedly made some new friends in the process. Happy to oblige, the trio of guitarist and singer Alf Vesterelv, bassist Tommy Granli and drummer Nikolai Haugstad Medgard turned up, plugged in and played as though their lives depended on it. The little hall and local audience maybe weren’t prepared for it but The Maudlin Hounds were in no mood to take any prisoners. Highlighting the heavy rocking, yet irresistibly catchy tracks from their excellent new album ‘The Roaring Season’, we were treated to glorious versions of ‘Hello, Hello’, ‘The Roaring Season’ and ‘Skyfire Lightning’, the latter of which featured some of the best three part harmonies I’ve ever heard. Are The Maudlin Hounds good? No, they’re bloody great! Release the Hounds!!”

“A Norwegian three-piece, The Maudlin Hounds formed in 2002, releasing a self titled debut EP the next year, before a full length debut Somersaulting, which packed a Power-Pop punch, hit the streets in 2006. Now some six years down the road and TMH have returned with a heavier, if no less catchy and hook laden follow up, The Roaring Season. Taking their cue from a variety of sources, album number two brings to mind acts as varied as The Beatles, The Police, Cheap Trick, Enuff Z Nuff and pre leather strides Whitesnake. A strange mix indeed, but a memorable smorgasbord it creates, with unforgettable choruses jumping at you at every opportunity. Whether you live for music you can sing along to, or you simply like to Rock out with a smile on your face, The Maudlin Hounds are here to make your day!”
