New music video from Mad Morning

Coming out of Essex with an explosive sound, Mad Morning are here to make alternative rock feel dangerous again. The trio, led by UK songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Rob Jarvis, formerly of Rob Jarvis and The Mercury Sons, have wasted no time establishing themselves as an exciting act of pure, uncompromising energy. Their music hits like a rush of adrenaline with massive riffs, pounding drums and biting lyrics that stare straight into the disarray of modern life.

Having developed his talents in the USA before returning to the UK, Rob Jarvis brought back a sound that stitches together cinematic scale with punchy rock impact. Now channelling that new vision into Mad Morning, it’s heavier, grittier and defiantly honest, taking cues from bands like Biffy Clyro, Audioslave and Foo Fighters.

That fire found its spark when Rob crossed paths with German drummer Kevin Hein, whose powerful playing forms the backbone of Mad Morning’s sound. Their chemistry, discovered in London’s underground clubs, was instant and combustible with Kevin’s percussive force matching Rob’s volatility head-on. What began as jam sessions became the blueprint for something bigger—a project built on shared instinct and zero compromise.

Before a single track was released, Mad Morning had already built a reputation on the live circuit; their debut headline shows sold out rapidly, with fans singing along to songs they’d only heard in fragments online. In September, their debut single “Painkiller” kicked the doors open with a track that established their ability to balance melody with robust sonic power. Now, Mad Morning return with “The Circle,” a follow-up that burns brighter, hits harder and digs even deeper.

Released via the Saviour Music imprint, it’s a blistering showcase of post grunge with indie hard rock voltage, uniting classic attitude with a modern aesthetic. Thematically, “The Circle” is a song about entrapment, the loops we build for ourselves and the endless chase for validation, money and control. It’s a reflection of modern ambition’s double-edged sword; the more we chase meaning, the more it slips away.

Jumping straight in with a crunching guitar riff, the steady strike of drums injects a slick groove as Rob’s swaggering vocals enter to form a raucous slice of modern alternative rock that glides with both sleazy vibes and bright melodic flair, resulting in an enthralling listening experience from start to finish. Paired with the single is a music video directed by Reece Selvadorai with captures the band performing the track in a claustrophobic, red space to deliver an engaging visual experience that perfectly matches the music. With “The Circle,” Mad Morning prove that modern rock just needs truth, volume and conviction and this band has all three in abundance.
