The Maddocks

Stockport four-piece, The Maddocks, are on the rise.

The Maddocks are made up of George Edwards (vocals, guitar), Ed Gibbins (drums), Siobhán Lally (bass), and Alex “Toller” Tollerfield (guitar).

The band formed in March 2022, just short of year ago but, have known each other for a decade, having bonded in secondary school over a shared passion for music. “We’d all been in different bands beforehand, but when our projects had come to an end, the band sexual tension between us was unbearable, so we decided we had to get into the rehearsal room together. The rest is history!”

Pin-pointing a genre is difficult – the demos I’ve heard from the band so far have vastly different sounds, but there’s a distinct energy bringing them together. There’s a clear post-punk flavour to their sound with a sprinkling of funk, evident in their unreleased material.
