Patriotic Rock Band Breathes New Life Into Star Spangled Banner To Honor 200 Year Bicentennial

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Madison Rising) Madison Rising, America's most patriotic rock band, is on a mission to make great rock music and send a message that American culture is alive and well. As part of that mission, the band, led by navy veteran and former 8404 FMF Corpsman, Dave Bray choose to update America's most patriotic song - the Star Spangled Banner - for the 21st Century and breathe new life into a tune that many have deemed outdated and unworthy of its position as our National Anthem. Apparently, their plan has worked well, with the band's rock rendition selling over 100,000 copies on Amazon and iTunes, while the video has garnered nearly 6 million unique views on YouTube:



Madison Rising released its widely acclaimed version of the Star Spangled Banner in the summer of 2012 and both the song and video have become huge hits, catapulting the band into the national spotlight and creating one of the most loyal fan bases in rock music history. "Awesome," "deeply moving," "chilling," and "the best ever," are just some of the superlatives used to describe Madison Rising's rendition of the song that celebrates what being an American is all about.

Madison Rising has performed all over the country at military and veteran events, NFL half-time shows, NASCAR, the opening ceremony of the 2014 Special Olympics, Sturgis and other major venues, as well as opened for rock legends Lynyrd Skynyrd, Aerosmith, Steppenwolf, Kansas, Weezer, Toby Keith and others.

Madison Rising: Music with meaning.
