About Madness
Blending ska and pop with a distinctly English sense of humor, the band Madness created a “nutty sound” that made them UK superstars in the early ’80s.
• Originally called The North London Invaders, the group changed its name to Madness in reference to a song by the pioneering Jamaican ska musician Prince Buster, a major influence.
• Madness released their debut single, 1979’s Prince Buster tribute “The Prince,” on the ska-revival label 2 Tone.
