All For Nothing by World Gone Mad

Track four "Weeping Mary" was licensed to WUPN's 7 days and the band got their first taste of real money in the business, also making Davey a published member of ASCAP.

The following year the band finished second out of over 140 bands in a competition hosted by Mountaineer Resort and Casino. The band then went on to tour New York, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan throughout the remainder of the summer.

Encouraged by their growing fan base, World Gone Mad made the decision to return to the studio the following fall. The resulting four song EP, titled American Obsession, sold out almost immediately at gigs and local record stores. Meanwhile both "Smile" and "In Me" charted well on 88.9 WSTB, and landed permanent slots on the station's rotation.

By the next winter, having sold over 2,000 CDs in their target area, World Gone Mad returned to the studio to record another demo of newly written material. This disk stayed underground and several hundred copies circulate amongst hardcore fans.

After a litany of drummers, World Gone Mad finally located their missing piece in Ivan Konic. Revitalized by the newfound synergy, the band spent the next 50 out of 52 weeks performing regionally, perfecting their live sound and internal chemistry, before once again putting themselves in the capable hands of producer Mike Farona (sometimes referred to as their fifth member). All for Nothing was the resulting disk birthed in early 2005. With the albums release came a slew of promotion including radio interviews, live simulcast performances and even an unplugged radio special. This resulted in a renewed dedication to assembling a professional management team and image for World Gone Mad.

Currently, the band is playing live, successfully promoting their album to college and commercial radio, as well as increasing their visibility. All the while building their fan base, writing new material, and recording.
