Maddax

Maddax was a heavy metal band based in South Florida during the mid-1980s. The band went through many changes, but key members during the heyday of Maddax - 1986-1987 - was Andy Austin (vocals, bass), David Coleman (vocals, guitar), Tomi Stotler (drums), and Ralph Tullo (guitar). This notable lineup came together when Andy Austin, formerly of Critical Mass, joined on vocals and bass and Tomi Stotler joined as drummer. The name is meant to convey the frantic guitar performances of founding members David Coleman and Ralph Tullo. Austin is in the process of restoring Maddax's studio and live recordings. Studio recordings consist of two 8-track sessions and a 16-track session. Live performances were recorded on four videotapes.
