Mad Morning crank the volume and take no prisoners with “The Circle,” their latest single that follows the buzz of debut hit Painkiller. Released on October 31, the Essex trio delivers a ferocious dose of post-grunge-fueled indie hard rock, a track that smokes with raw energy while packing razor-sharp songwriting.
“The Circle” dives into the endless loops we trap ourselves in—the grind for money, control, and validation, all while losing sight of what really matters. The lyrics cut with sardonic bite and defiant swagger: “Take the money, I’ll keep my pride / Running, running, running, the circle.” There’s an honesty here that’s unflinching, wrapped in a modern rock framework that nods to Alice in Chains and Velvet Revolver, yet punches with the contemporary power of Royal Blood. From Jarvis’s commanding vocals to the thunderous percussion of Kevin Hein, the track’s energy is impossible to ignore, riding high on towering riffs and hooks that lodge themselves in your head immediately.
Frontman Rob Jarvis, honed in the US before returning to the UK, blends cinematic ambition with gritty alt-rock instincts. Backed by Hein’s seismic drumming, the chemistry between singer and drummer is electrifying, a perfect storm that propels the band’s sound forward. It’s no wonder their debut headline shows sold out in minutes, with fans already shouting every word before the record even dropped.
“The Circle” shows Mad Morning not just growing louder, but sharper—an unapologetic three-piece built for both intimate stages and massive arenas. This isn’t a band content to play it safe; it’s a band that turns frustration, ambition, and restless energy into anthems that hit like a gut punch.
With ‘The Circle,’ Mad Morning fuse blistering riffs, cinematic ambition, and raw lyrical honesty into a track that refuses to be ignored
