"A superbly executed exercise in stupidly catchy rock. You cant argue with an enormous tune and MAC boast several of the buggers" Kerrang!
"Sticky choruses, massive hooks...exceptional British rock music" Rocksound
"A rip-roaring family affair, MAC should be permanently glued to your CD player and blasted out until your eardrums implode!" Total Guitar
"Catchy tunes with riffs and hooks galore. MAC are one of the best around." The Independent 'Single of the Week'
"For want of a better word, Awesome!" Big Cheese
After 2 years gigging the UK (01-03) playing over 150 shows, MAC signed a deal and jetted to the most excellent Big Fish recording studios, located in the coastal hills near Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego, Southern California, USA, (where such bands as Jimmy Eat World, Blink 182 & Rocket From The Crypt have recorded), to record their very own mini-album 'The View Is Amazing' (released in Summer 04 on Sorepoint / Bravestar Records).
A split-single with Fall Out Boy (with MAC's keyboard fuelled sing-a-long hit 'As Always' on the flip side), was promoted with a sold out UK tour in Feb 05. In Mar 05, MAC recorded on home soil in the UK at 2 top London studios to give their debut full-length album 'Actions' a distinctive british edge. Produced by Larry Hibbitt (of UK rockstars Hundred Reasons), the result was a guitar driving and melody fuelled gem that was well received by the media and fans alike. The album spawned 3 single releases (Put Up A Fight, Set To Go & Awake), and all gained plays on Radio 1, MTV2, Kerrang TV and Scuzz.
MAC's most successful single to date 'Put Up A Fight' was used on the Saints Row video game and was also featured on the Australian Big Brother show along with other MAC tracks 'You Need Discipline' & 'Set To Go' and this gained the band tremendous exposure. 'Put Up A Fight' was also included on the Kerrang New Breed compilation feat. Panic At The Disco and The Automatic.
