Inspired by the literature of Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King, Rod Serling’s “The Twilight Zone,” and the chaos of the world around them, the four veteran musicians who comprise Professor and the Madman are co-frontmen/songwriters Alfie Agnew and Sean Elliott, alongside the legendary rhythm section of drummer Rat Scabies and bassist Paul Gray.

The band made its live debut at London’s 100 Club in August 2018. Record Collector Magazine wrote of the show, “P&TM’s sonic assault took in pop-punk and a healthy dose of psychedelia, bringing to mind Hüsker Dü, all their songs strong.” The performance was captured in the resulting album, Live at the 100 Club, also available on FullerTone.

In the summer of 2026, Professor and the Madman will release a new album, Dreamworld, recorded at Abbey Road Studios. In addition to Dreamworld, the band’s discography includes the studio albums Good Evening, Sir! (2016), Election (2016), Disintegrate Me (2018), and Séance (2020), as well as Live at the 100 Club.
