Madison Rising is an American patriotic post-grunge and hard rock band. Formed in 2011 by Richard Mgrdechian, and referring to themselves as the United States' 'most patriotic' rock band, it is led by Air Force veteran MSGT Rio Hiett (Ret). The band is named for the street in Hoboken, New Jersey where their recording studio was located, and for former president James Madison.
The band describes themselves as being 'pro-patriotic', have cited bands such as Creed as an influence, and have frequently incorporated themes involving conservatism and the United States Armed Forces into their music.
Madison Rising gained some prominence in 2014, following the band's poorly-received performance of 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at a NASCAR event in February, and the announcement that it would perform the theme song for Amazing America with Sarah Palin, a television program starring former Governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
