Madness

Madness is what comes when injustice and fear are allowed to fester and seep down through the generations. Written while traveling through the West Bank & Israel in 2010, "Madness," the album, is one man's attempt to reconcile thousands of years of history and religion that have flowed through the region and now feed into the current, untenable situation in Israel/Palestine. Harrison Stafford, lyricist and front man for the internationally acclaimed group Groundation, brought together the legends of reggae to create a new chapter in the heavy, one-drop evolution of roots music. This album is intended to intrigue, inform and ignite debate, while keeping the focus centered on the everyday people who live and breathe the struggle-people who's history and future are irrevocably intertwined.
