Mad Painter’s latest single, Debt Collector, is a thrilling journey through the realms of classic blues-rock with a modern edge. Drawing inspiration from 1970s legends like Deep Purple and Nazareth, this Boston-based band has masterfully crafted a track that oozes nostalgia while standing tall in today’s music scene. The song features poetic lyrics by Dmitry M. Epstein and the unmistakable growl of a Hammond organ through a Marshall amp a brilliant nod to Jon Lord’s signature sound.
The crisp production by Tom Hamilton elevates the track, capturing its raw energy and vintage vibe. Alex Gitlin’s commanding vocals and keyboards shine, while Alan Nahabedian’s guitar and the solid rhythm section provided by Alan Hendry and Kenne Highland create a robust sonic landscape. Backing vocals and flute by Julie Gee and Sharon Crumrine add a unique texture, further setting this track apart.
With its tongue-in-cheek lyrics and infectious energy, Debt Collector is a perfect showcase of Mad Painter’s ability to honor rock’s golden age while carving their own path. This song isn’t just a listen; it’s an experience. Add Debt Collector to your playlist, follow Mad Painter online, and get ready for their upcoming album, Island Poetry. You won’t regret it!
