Point of Madness delivers a striking homage to the dark, new wave aesthetics of the 1980s with "Jealousy" , a track that effortlessly channels the era’s brooding energy while sounding fresh and relevant. Hailing from the Netherlands, this three-piece band—Floris Anker on bass, Kay Spijker on guitar, and Sem van Dongen on vocals—manages to recreate the essence of vintage post-punk and dream pop using minimal gear: just a six-string, bass, a humble microphone, and a basic interface. The result is a song soaked in moody atmospherics, driven by punchy drum machines, hypnotic basslines, and sharp, angular guitar riffs that echo the best of the era without feeling like a mere imitation.

What sets Point of Madness apart is their genuine passion for the sound and style of the 80s, which shines through every layer of "Jealousy" . Their music isn’t just retro nostalgia—it’s a deliberate artistic choice to bring emotional intensity, rhythmic tension, and melodic allure back into focus. In a world dominated by digital perfection, the rawness and sincerity of their approach stand out, offering listeners a bridge between past and present. With "Jealousy" , Point of Madness proves they’re more than a tribute act—they're torchbearers of a timeless sound, breathing new life into the shadows of synth-laden nights and neon dreams.
