Made 2 Rise is an American patriotic post-grunge and hard rock band, formed in 2011 as Madison Rising by Richard Mgrdechian and David Bray. The band's original name came from the street in Hoboken, New Jersey where their recording studio was located, but the band later considered it to also be in reference to former president James Madison.
As Madison Rising, the band described themselves as being "constitutional" and "America's most patriotic rock band" — having frequently invoked themes of conservatism in their lyrics, and having conducted initiatives in support of first responders and the United States Armed Forces. The band has cited groups such as Creed as an influence on their style.
Madison Rising gained some prominence in 2014, following the band's performance of the U.S. national anthem 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.
