Madina Lake foi formada em 2005, em Chicago e tem como integrantes: Nathan Leone (vocalista), Matthew Leone (baixista), e Daniel Torelli (baterista).
O começo da banda foi marcado pelos irmãos gêmeos Nathan e Matthew por terem ganho a edição de gêmeos do programa Fear Factor e a recompensa foi de 50 mil dólares, com o dinheiro, eles compraram uma van e gravaram sua demo. Antes de existir o Madina Lake todos os integrantes já estiveram em outras bandas.
