   :  The story of 48May begins in the heart of Hamilton's     :
   :  student district, not far from Waikato University, in    :
   :  an area where recycling bins sit stacked high with beer  :
   :  bottles and overgrown lawns are littered with pizza      :
   :  boxes and outdoor couches.                               :
   :                                                           :
   :  It was in this neighbourhood where the four members of   :
   :  48May, at that stage in four different bands, began      :
   :  hanging out and considering their musical futures back   :
   :  in 2002.                                                 :
   :                                                           :
   :  Jon Austin (lead vocals/guitar), was a journalism        :
   :  student in Auckland, and could see his dream of          :
   :  becoming a musician fading. He travelled down to         :
   :  Hamilton, to see his best friend Jody Stowers (Captain   :
   :  Hook - guitar), who was playing in a local band. Hook    :
   :  had been hanging out at Jarrod Brown's (drums) flat at   :
   :  48 May St and they had been writing some music           :
   :  together. Jarrod was then taking lead vocals in          :
   :  Auckland rock band Mama Said, while his bass playing     :
   :  brother Shannon, who had left that band, was on tour     :
   :  down south with Tadpole.                                 :
   :                                                           :
   :  "I would always ring up Jarrod and bitch after shows,    :
   :  'Fuck I hate this, I wanna come home man'."              :
   :                                                           :
   :  48May were born out of that frustration. They all began  :
   :  hanging out at Jarrod's flat, partying and jamming and   :
   :  realised they had a full band between them. Jon had      :
   :  been writing some songs so they went into a practise     :
   :  room to see what would happen.                           :
   :                                                           :
   :  "We'd continuously get together round at 48 May St and   :
   :  then we moved through to a jam room with four complete   :
   :  songs and thought 'This feels really good'," says        :
   :  Shannon.                                                 :
   :                                                           :
   :  48May's official birthday is Big Day Out 2003. It was    :
   :  there in a huddle, after Shannon's last gig with         :
   :  Tadpole, the four of them decided to give it a shot.     :
   :                                                           :
   :  Jarrod says 48May has been a different experience which  :
   :  is reflected in their productivity.                      :
   :                                                           :
   :  "Because we've all been in other bands before no one's   :
   :  got any attitudes and no one's possessive of anything,   :
   :  and everyone has equal respect for each others' ideas.   :
   :  Everything gets used so how can you not write fast?"     :
   :                                                           :
   :  Indeed things have happened pretty quickly for 48May.    :
   :  They signed with FMR in September and their debut album  :
   :  'The Mad Love' has been in stores since October and      :
   :  charting well. Packed with pop-punk singles, harmonies,  :
   :  hooks and sing-along choruses it is a lush production.   :
   :                                                           :
   :  Production credits go to Welshman Greg Haver whose       :
   :  major league credits include Manic Street Preachers and  :
   :  The Super Furry Animals. The band met and worked with    :
   :  him after one of the first songs they wrote and          :
   :  recorded was selected for Haver's production treatment   :
   :  for the Resonate conference in 2003.                     :
   :                                                           :
   :  Initially they were going to turn this opportunity       :
   :  down. They had their recording grant and didn't want to  :
   :  risk coming out of Resonate with a sound they didn't     :
   :  like. It took Brendan Smyth from NZ On Air to convince   :
   :  them otherwise.                                          :
   :                                                           :
   :  "I'm really glad we did Resonate," says Shannon. "Greg   :
   :  had a real strong vibe for the song (Fight Back) and we  :
   :  went in and recorded over two or three days and had so   :
   :  much fun with him. We just had a ball and the song came  :
   :  out sounding really good."                               :
   :                                                           :
   :  After prolific writing sessions they decided there was   :
   :  no need to wait to put out an album. They got back in    :
   :  touch with Haver, scraped some money together and got    :
   :  him to produce the album for a reduced fee while he was  :
   :  out here producing the feelers' third album 'Playground  :
   :  Battle'. Drum tracks were recorded at York St Studios    :
   :  in two days and the rest was done at Hamilton's Dudley   :
   :  Studios in about five weeks.                             :
   :                                                           :
   :  "He just kind of captured what we were doing well. He    :
   :  put a bit of sparkle on it - while we were more into     :
   :  the raw energy and the rock, he put a nice little sheen  :
   :  on it," says Jarrod.                                     :
   :                                                           :
