Mad Painter, the rising rock band with a vintage edge, proudly announces the release of their latest single, “Debt Collector,” now available on all major streaming platforms. This is the second single from their highly anticipated upcoming album, Island Poetry, further cementing their place as torchbearers of classic rock.
Inspired by legendary acts like Nazareth and Deep Purple, “Debt Collector” masterfully blends gritty blues-rock with a nostalgic 1970s flair. Its evocative lyrics, written by acclaimed poet Dmitry M. Epstein, infuse the track with a poetic intensity that complements the band’s signature sound.
Recorded at Tom Hamilton’s studio in Peabody, the production captures the essence of rock’s golden era. A standout feature of “Debt Collector” is the dynamic Hammond organ, channeled through a Marshall amplifier—a bold homage to the inimitable Jon Lord of Deep Purple fame. This distinctive sound, paired with driving rhythms and impassioned vocals, creates an immersive listening experience that is both fresh and familiar
