And THAT is why a cover, even a terrific one like this, is still not the REAL DEAL. Kinks LIVE! Forever!

Well, I must say the day is trending up - some serious & cooling rain here in the resort city of Houston. And Madrugada revs it up. All in all - an 8  |

I'm kinda' agreeing with Bill on this one-Definitely one of the best rock outfits to never make it in America.
Listen to that drummer go! Great guitar work, great singer too.

This is the first tune by Sivert that I can say grabs me. His other "heartfelt"stuff kind of fall s flat w/ me

The beginning of this song sounds to me like they've taken 'Harmony in My Head' by the Buzzcocks and just played it slower. It sounds remarkably similar.

Wow - fredriley, we agree! I think I might drop dead from the shock. (Kidding.) Cool that we agree, though. Yes, Madrugada is "basic rock," but there's just something so compelling about the vocals and the interplay among the instrumentals and the vocals. I really love this band. I'd never heard them before, until I came to RP. I'm giving them a 9, in concurrence with the Nottingham jury.  |

(May 04, 2010 - 17:07) Bill, I gotta ask: Is this guy your long lost cousin or what? Yeah, he's got a very distinctive voice, as do you, but seriously, the music isn't all that... Madrugada - Hard To Come Back
(May 15, 2010 - 21:33) Sorry, I think that this band is totally over-rated. The music itself is pretty basic rock & roll. It could be almost anybody (or a cover band) from the late '70's and the lyrics are almost trite, a typical problem for a foreign language band. I am really starting to resent the "love-fest" here on RP for Madrugada... Granted, I fell hard for "Majesty", the live version, and got sucked into the fanfare, but the other songs being played here just don't come close (and for that matter, even "Majesty" has lost its luster after being totally over-played here on RP.) Sorry Bill, but I'm still wondering if this dude isn't your long lost cousin??? I don't get it, you usually have great taste, but this band doesn't reflect that. So, you apparently don't care for this band or you "don't get it" as you stated. However, don't you think it's a little presumptuous to suggest that those who do like this band or song (a substantial majority of the voting listeners) do not have good taste? |

He says "es duro de empezar" , but a better translation should be "es duro empezar" , "duro" have also the meaning of "difícil" (difficult) |

Cracking stuff, but so reminiscent of Nick Cave that I had to check that it wasn't him, so maybe abit of plagiarism going on?
