If you know me, you know I love Hippo Campus. Their latest album, Flood, is a testament to their strength as unit and as friends. Leading up to the album’s release, almost every single band member said something about how proud they were of the song Madman. They have every right to be. Madman is bouncy, energetic, fun, and lively. I fell in love with it on the first listen. It feels like true Hippo Campus—indie rock roots, candid lyricism, and a constant desire to experiment. I cannot wait to hear this song live on their 2025 US tour.
