Chicago based band comprised of identical twins Nathan and Matthew Leone, Mateo Camargo, and Dan Torelli. They became friends in the local Chicago music scene playing in bands The Blank Theory (Nathan and Matthew) and Reforma (Mateo and Dan). When both groups disbanded, the 4 decided to put together Madina Lake in 2004.

The albums and their related artworks are a set of concept albums revolving around a story written by bassist Matthew about a fictional town set in the 1950’s called Madina Lake and a socialite’s disappearance that happened there. The songs and artwork are full of clues and hints to help the listener follow along with the story and try to solve what had happened.
