About Madman Locomotive
The Little Engine that Could
A Neo Grunge Alt Rock band from Northern California, Joey Ramitez (guitar) and Christopher Van Kirk (vocals) formed Madman Locomotive in 2023 after both left long term projects and started recording songs within three months of the groups inception. The combination of melodically driven harmonies, driving riffs, masterful synchronization, and eclectic tonality make for a hauntingly awesome musical experience. To date, the songs have materialized so quickly, effortlessly, and genuinely that the train is well on it’s way with 5 brand new recordings coming out summer 2024. Come choo choo on this!
Our Music
The music is varietal, high-energy rock and roll, with a grunge edge. The guitars slice, while the vocals dice. The lyrics are thought provoking and storytelling through wholesome verbiage. The music is meant to transport you to a place where all that matters, is the music!
