Men of Mad’ness – Official Bio

Men of Mad’ness is a digital‑era rock collective born on Independence Day 2025, rising from the creative DNA of two Bay Area cult favorites — Patrick Lew Band (PLB) and Crazy Loser in a Box. Founded by prolific Chinese‑Japanese punk rock musician and YouTuber Patrick Lew, the band unites a unique lineup: Patrick’s virtual alter‑ego Madeline Lew, Vietnamese alt‑rock vocalist Madoku Raye, and Silicon Valley‑based electronic artist and frontman Sebastian “Seabass” Morningstar.

Fueled by a shared love of all things rock, Men of Mad’ness blends emo, grunge, shoegaze, J‑rock, nu‑metal, and electronic textures into a sound that’s both nostalgic and forward‑thinking. Their music channels the raw urgency of the ’90s and 2000s alternative scene while embracing the diversity, experimentation, and digital connectivity of the modern era.

Unlike traditional touring acts, Men of Mad’ness is an exclusively studio‑based band, collaborating entirely online from different corners of the San Francisco Bay Area. Every track is crafted in the digital space — no bar gigs, no club circuits — just pure, unfiltered creativity delivered straight to the listener.

Influences span continents and genres: Nirvana, The Pretty Reckless, Oasis, Green Day, Pearl Jam, X Japan, Miyavi, BTS, Jaurim, Alice In Chains, Blink‑182, Beyond, Florence & The Machine, Lady Gaga, The White Stripes, and Skrillex. This eclectic palette fuels songs that are angsty yet empowering, experimental yet grounded in rock & roll tradition.

Still in its early chapters, Men of Mad’ness is a work in progress with big ambitions — a sonic meeting point for grit, melody, and cultural fusion. In a world where rock bands are often bound by geography and genre, they’re proving that distance is no barrier to chemistry, and that the future of rock can be as virtual as it is visceral.

Men of Mad’ness — born online, built on passion, and ready to make some noise.
