Bio

Mad Ones play raw, heart and soul, garage rock, trash pop.

Mad Ones albums have featured guest appearances from members of The Sadies, Constantines, By Divine Right and HotKid. The band has done tours and festival dates in Canada, U.S., U.K. and Europe and performed with the likes of The OBGMs, Ace of Wands, Miesha & The Spanks Teenage Head, PUP, Rusty, Tommy Stinson, The Dirty Nil, and so many more.

The band formed in 2011 as a duo of Andrew DeVillers (Vocals / Guitar) and Phil Wilson (Drums). The early lineup released its debut “Behaviour” (LP 2011) that same year, followed by “Burning Window” (EP 2013) and “Sanciety” (LP 2016).

A new lineup emerged during the recording of “Regretless” (LP 2017) with band leader DeVillers now joined by Russell Fernandes (Equator, The Mercy Now, Shikasta) on bass and backup vocals and Adam Balsam (Most Serene Republic) on drums.

As a result of extensive international touring this lineup was at the peak of its powers during the recording of “Last Forever” (LP 2021) but tragically upended by the abrupt passing of dear friend and bandmate Adam Balsam a month before its release November release.

In Jan 2022, with the support of Jesse L. Bellon from Fortune Stellar label mates HotKid taking over on drums the band found working on new material therapeutic. In Sept 2022 the band released “Hydra Head” / “Molly Moth” and resumed touring in Canada and Europe.
