Review by Chantelle Oliver

Mad Sin’s Underground: A Raw Psychobilly Ride Worth Remembering If you’re into the gritty, rebellious fusion of rock, punk, and psychobilly, Mad Sin’s 2005 album Underground is a wild ride you don’t wanna miss. Hailing from Germany and released under the hilariously bold label “I Used To Fuck People Like You In Prison” Records, this record doesn’t just lean into its genre—it stomps on the gas pedal and takes no prisoners. With tracks like “Underground (Mose’s Mix)” and “Dirty City,” it’s an unapologetic throwback to raw underground vibes with a modern twist. Let’s start with “Underground (Mose’s Mix).” This track hits hard right outta the gate, thanks to Stein AKA Dr.Solido’s razor-sharp guitar riffs and Koefte De Ville’s snarling vocals. The mix has this raw edge that feels like it was recorded in some dimly lit basement—exactly where psychobilly belongs. It’s catchy as hell but still rough around the edges, which makes it stick in your head for days. You can practically smell the cigarette smoke and sweat while listening. And when the solo kicks in? Damn. Stein knows how to shred without overdoing it, keeping things tight and dirty. Then there’s “Dirty City.” If you’ve ever felt suffocated by urban life, this song captures that vibe perfectly. Valle’s double bass slaps give it a heartbeat, driving the whole thing forward like a runaway train. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of grimy streets and restless nights, making it feel more like storytelling than just another punk anthem. It’s not overly polished, and that’s what makes it so damn good. There’s something real about the way everything comes together—the drums pounding away courtesy of Andy Laaf, the haunting keys laid down by Koefte, and those gang-style backing vocals adding layers of chaos. One thing that stands out across the album is the production quality—or lack thereof, depending on how you look at it. Michael Schwabe handled both tracking and mixing, and he kept things stripped-down and authentic. Sure, some might call it lo-fi, but honestly? That’s kind of the point. This isn’t music meant for glossy pop charts; it’s made for dive bars and mosh pits. Producer Big Koefte De Ville clearly understood the assignment, letting the band’s energy shine through without drowning it in studio wizardry. What really ties Underground together is its consistency. Every track feels intentional, even if they’re remixes or radio edits of the same title song. The repetition somehow works here because each version brings something slightly different to the table. Whether it’s the punchier “Radio Version” or the grittier original mix, Mad Sin keeps you hooked. In the end, Underground reminds us why we fell in love with underground music in the first place: it’s messy, loud, and unfiltered. Listening to it feels like flipping off authority figures while dancing your ass off. And hey, isn’t that what great punk should do? Final thought: I bet if aliens landed tomorrow and asked what Earth sounds like, playing them Underground would be a solid move. Just saying. Rating: 8/10

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know that the album *Underground* by Mad Sin has a track called "Dirty City"? It’s a gritty mix of punk and psychobilly, showing off their raw energy. The band recorded it in Germany back in 2005 under a pretty wild label name: *"I Used To Fuck People Like You In Prison" Records*. Valle, who played double bass and added backing vocals, helped bring that deep, thumping sound to life. Stein AKA Dr.Solido shredded on guitar, even handling both rhythm and solos. And get this—Michael Schwabe not only tracked but also mixed the whole thing, giving it that punchy edge. Definitely an underground gem with some serious attitude!
