Shadow on the House

Mumbo Jumbo

Bullingdon Boys
Madness today unveil snap release 'Bullingdon Boys'. The seminal British pop band's first new music since 2016, 'Bullingdon Boys' is a self explanatory, barbed swipe at the charlatans, rotters and chancers at the top of the tree who have done ...

Israelites
Mike: I was with my brother Dan, we were on our pushbikes, it was the school summer holidays of 1968. We were slowly making our way out of the grime of North London on the long journey to our holiday destination, a railway cottage in Santon ...

Crying
Chris: I've got so many songs that I've written with Lee that have never seen the light of day, and I didn't want these to get lost. In the end, a lot of mine and Thommo's songs ended up on the 'box set' version of the album. So what happened ...

Driving In My Car
"Driving in My Car" was written by Mike Barson and recorded by Madness. It was released as a stand-alone single on 24 July 1982 and spent eight weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number four. It reached number 20 on the Australian ...

Powder Blue
Mike: 'Powder Blue' was one of my favourite songs on the album. It was an old song, from back when I'd been working with Suggs, before he decided to do his solo career. He'd given me the lyric and l'd written the tune to it ages ago - it was a ...

You Said
Suggs says that my memory could be more precise with many songs he wrote with Mike. From what I recall, this tune was written by Mike in the days when we rehearsed in the disused dentist surgery in Finchley. Mike had the title and some of the ...

Herbert
Suggs composed Herbert with Mike Barson. Two weeks before "Can't Touch Us Now", the album's release, the song "Herbert" was released as a teaser on 14 October 2016. It was accompanied by an animated lyric video in the style of the album's artwork.
