The offspring of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mad Rush was born in Paris in 2020. Led by Ilann (vocals and rhythm guitar) and Clément (percussion), with the support of Julien (bass) and Alexis (lead guitar), the band began its stoner rock career, playing gigs all over the Paris region before entering the studio.

The tone was set in November 2021 with the double single 'Silver Horses' and 'The Highlander'. These feverish tracks were quickly followed by their first EP, Magna Carta. Released on 28 January 2022, this five-track EP followed in the footsteps of bands such as Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam and The Black Keys.

Six months later, the acoustic ballad 'Lancaster Euphoria' heralded a drastic musical change. A romantic single, it offered a glimpse of Mad Rush's early aspirations to combine the singer's vocal harmonies with female vocals.
