THE MARS PATROL is Davina Divine, Ross Nelson & Stephen Parker, originally from Edinburgh, Scotland. Now based in London, England, you may have seen them recently sharing the stage alongside such artists as KT Tunstall, Kula Shaker, The Feeling, Rooster, Hanson & Orson. Already renowned for their extreme passion and energy in both their music and live shows, no wonder Ocean View Press in Boston commented:
”you'd think you were watching them in front of 35,000 fans at Madison Square Garden”
The overriding themes in their music - positivity, solace, understanding - sees the band make light of the darkest situations: a trait often overlooked in today’s increasingly cynical, me-first society. And such is their quality, immediacy and warmth. Davina Divine says, “our music is designed to inspire, help you escape and confront your fears.” Davina, who writes the majority of the band’s lyrics, has been recognised for a voice that touches the head as well as the heart.
The Mars Patrol recently did their first US tour on the East Coast which was hugely succesful, including shows in New Jersey, Philadelphia, Boston & New York City. A busy gigging schedule, partnered with a massively strong internet presence has contributed to the rise and rise of The Mars Patrol. The band now has a worldwide following, including fansites almost everywhere, including the UK, Japan, Europe, America, Canada, Australia and China, and this following is set to grow due to the recent release of the awesome EP, “MAKING MEMORIES” (released on the band's own signature label, Ravista Records). The CD has already received glowing reviews from around the World...
”some of the best Power-Pop tunes that Britain has ever heard” 10/10
