Madder Rose was a New York City-based alternative rock band who recorded in the 1990s. The band was fronted by Mary Lorson, who shared songwriting duties with guitarist Billy Coté. The two singer/songwriters later collaborated again as Jazz Cannon. Their name comes from the herb-based paint rose madder. Several of their songs, including "Panic On" and "Car Song", were featured in John Peel's end-of-year round-up, the Festive Fifty. The band released three albums on Atlantic Records, and one on quasi-independent label Thirsty Ear, before breaking up in 1999.

Description
Their music has been described as suggesting the druggy languor of a heroin high, which inspired the British music press to trumpet Madder Rose as the second coming of the Velvet Underground.[1] A 1994 review in Rolling Stone characterized their sound as an "alloy" of grunge and "the buttercup sighs of The Cranberries.[2] Their sound progressed from indie pop rock, not unlike peers Velocity Girl, Lush, Helium and Juliana Hatfield, to Shoegaze and trip-hop. After the breakup, Lorson founded the alt-folk outfit Saint Low. Madder Rose members included Billy Cote (guitar), Mary Lorson (vocal, guitar), Matt Verta-Ray (bass,vocal), Rick Kubic aka Johnny Kick (drums, vocal) and Chris Giammalvo (bass).
