MDT are an alt-rock band that have carved their own niche, self-releasing a collection of idiosyncratic records, and never taking themselves too seriously.
Their first effort, 2009's EP The Crayon Masterpiece, showcased an early taste for jaunty guitar pop, which was elaborated upon with the release of their first studio LP, Captatio Benevolentiae in 2012, gaining a little attention from its catchy singles Brickwall and Betweenager.
By 2015 the sparkly guitar pop had developed a harder edge with the more raw sound of Letters of Last Resort EP, and by 2018's long player Yours Probably the recipe was seasoned with a sprinkle of prog.
Bringing a fun sensibility to their candid live act at hundreds of shows across Europe, their songs tackle themes from the personal to the political with a wry and self-deprecating humour.
Their last album 'Wereman' came out to hugely positive reviews. The first single 'Armchair Politician' has already received lots of FM radio play across the UK and Ireland.
With the 2024 release of the Heartbeaten EP, the lineup expanded to keys, flute, backing singers and string quartet ,arranged by Nick Squires (London Philharmonic Orchestra, Pet Shop Boys, Girls Aloud) which received notably positive reviews in magazines such as CLASH, VENTS and BACKSEAT MAFIA and the selected Single of the Week by both City Sound FM & Radio Wigwam.
MDT kicked off 2025 by winning Song of the Year at the Radio Wigwam awards, for their song ‘To the Endless’.
