Madina Lake: ‘People Threw Benefits In Our Name And Kept The Money’
A dark tale from a band bouncing back from extreme adversity.
In Rock Sound Issue 155 Madina Lake bassist Matthew Leone admits that, unfortunately, not all recent offers of help have had his best interests at heart.
"People threw benefits in our name and kept the money," he admits. "I would say sadly that a large amount of money that people so lovingly thought they were giving to me never actually found me. I'm a little reluctant to admit that, as anyone who gave anything in my honour created an energy that definitely reached me, so ultimately it worked and saved me - it wasn't in vain even though some bad guys got it. There were a lot of wolves wearing sheep's clothes. Many swarmed us saying they loved and cared and then as soon as we came out of critical condition or it slipped out of the media, we never heard from them again."
