Josephine (in just a few sentences):

International New England based Singer-Songwriter-artist Josephine is a Rock n Roll powerhouse with a cause. A soulful sonic bomb. A socially conscious lyricist with an against all odds attitude. She has a big voice and a big heart to match.

Josephine (Josephine With A Cause)

Israeli born, adopted by New England when she was in her late teens Josephine ("Jo") Madden was the songwriter writer and front-woman of her old bands JO and the MFers, Sonic Bomb and Josephin. Josephine's sound combines a booming mix of arena rock (like ACDC, GNR, Rolling Stones, Thin Lizzy, Rose Tattoo, Sweet) with infectious 70’s-80’s melodic Anthem Punk (such as Cock Sparrer, Clash, Stiff Little Fingers) with soul influences (Etta James, Aretha Franklin). She even has a lot of metal influences in her newer material which features a bunch of twin leading guitars and galloping rhythms. And her socially conscious lyrics poetically deal with fighting against injustices such as abuse, violence, poverty, and even war from a personal perspective in a heartfelt, wide reaching style that is always up-lifting. 

To sum it up: Josephine's creations are always full of heart and empowerment to fight injustice and help the helpless. And it doesn't hurt that her melodies are fun to sing and are impossibly infectious.
