Madina Lake just finished up their UK tour in support of The Gym Class Heroes. We got a report from the field on the final show in London, and it sounds like all hell broke loose (but in that nice way hell breaks loose).

As soon as the guys began “One Last Kiss,” the audience exploded into so much appreciation that Nathan let them take over the job of singing the chorus. Later, during “House of Cards,” the crowd surfing really got underway, with dozens of fans making their way over the barricades. To top it off, during the last song of the set Nathan scaled the scaffolding, hung from the heating ducts and launched into the audience. Crowds crushed in to meet them after the show.

Listen to “House of Cards,” HERE, but be careful not to attempt crowd surfing in your own home.

Madina Lake is also part of a mysterious story stretching all the way back to the 1950s. Disover more about the band, the enigmatic town for which they're named and its people with Madina Lake's new ecard at http://www.wheresadalia.com/.
