Working in a run down carriage house in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, NY, Padre Pio crafted their debut, The Madeline EP, while immersed in the smoke and hum of diesel engines. Seriously, whomever was trying to say that "Bushwick is Beautiful" is one tough cookie; no offense intended but any time you claim "diesel fumes" as an inspiration, that's frightening. The songs on The Madeline EP were composed by Portland transplant David Mosey and produced by New York keyboard legend Joe McGinty. <a

Encyclopedic overview
Pio of Pietrelcina (born Francesco Forgione; 25 May 1887 – 23 September 1968), widely known as Padre Pio (Italian for "Father Pius", Latin: Pater Pius) was an Italian friar of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, priest, stigmatist and mystic. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church, and his feast day is celebrated on 23 September.
Francesco joined the Capuchins at 15, and spent most of his religious life in the monastery of San Giovanni Rotondo. As Padre Pio, he was known throughout his life for numerous instances of supernatural phenomena, most notably stigmata—wounds like those of Jesus Christ at his crucifixion—on his hands and feet. Several investigations into the phenomena were conducted by the Vatican; and although they led to temporary sanctions on his ministry, his reputation for sanctity continued to increase during his lifetime. He was also renowned for other mystical phenomena, and many other forms of spiritual outreach to individuals.
