Marianas Trench is one of those “seriously underestimated by the music fans in the United States” sort of bands. This Canadian rock band is a four piece group that is actually quite well known in Canada, making appearances at the Much! Music awards, selling out arenas and pretty much just being hogged by Canada. But the Canadians couldn’t keep this gem hidden forever and you can finally get their albums Fix Me and Masterpiece Theatre on iTunes. (It took way to long for them to get there, but I digress.) Their sound is ever evolving, what with their second album sounding nothing like their first and I'm quite sure their third, due out November 21, will sound nothing like the others. With Josh Ramsay's soaring vocals and personal lyrics (Their song "Lover Dearest" is from a letter he had to write while in rehab to his heroin addiction and "Skin and Bones", "Feeling Small" and "Alibis" are about his fight with bulimia) the band has a way of creating music that is accessible to everyone.
We Americans who weren’t able to catch them on their few stops with the Glamour Kills tour finally have the chance to see them as they have hit the road with Simple Plan, Forever the Sickest Kids and The Cab. I actually just got to see them on their Austin stop and they were magnificent. I also had the pleasure of meeting the drummer, Ian Casselman, and the guitarist, Matt Webb, and I can honestly say they are some of the nicest, coolest guys I have ever met.
Watch out for them. I've had my eye on them for over a year now, and they have been blowing my mind every day since and I HIGHLY suggest catching them on the Get Your Heart On! Tour.
Go Download: Their latest single, “Haven’t Had Enough”. Once you’re in love with them, you should buy their previous albums as you wait for Ever After :)
