MaidaVale is a psychedelic rock band originating from Sweden, known for their 70s inspired sound and dynamic stage presence. Formed in 2012, the group consists of Matilda Roth (vocals), Sofia Ström (guitar), Linn Johannesson (bass), and Johanna Hansson (drums). The band has carved out a distinct niche in the resurgence of classic rock, bringing a contemporary twist to the genre. They debuted with “Tales of the Wicked West” in 2016, an album that was celebrated for its raw energy and authentic retro vibes.

Following their strong start, MaidaVale continued to build their reputation with further releases. “Madness Is Too Pure,” released in 2018, saw them pushing their sound into even more experimental territories, blending heavy psych riffs with Roth's haunting vocals. Singles like "Oh Hysteria!" and "Deadlock" solidified their status in the European underground rock scene. Notably, their music is characterized by a potent mix of groove-driven melodies, and expansive, often otherworldly soundscapes. With a continuous output of compelling music and an electrifying live set, MaidaVale garnered a loyal following and has been contributing significantly to the rock genre's modern revival.
