Deep grooves, brilliantly eerie guitar riffs and lyrics so catchy they will literally etch themselves to the inside walls of your brain… the SOUND MARSHALS represent all good things Manc.
The 'SOUND MARSHALS' are a four-piece indie band from Manchester, dealing in all out groovyness and huge sounding ethereal rock. They have taken a recognisable essence of 80's and 90's indie music, lovingly squeezed, prodded and poked it until they managed to contort it into their own undeniably unique style.
The release of their E.P. ‘Attack of the Sound Marshals’in 2007 was well recieved and the band went on to feature live on tv and had their music played on Manchesters XFM and at Old Trafford football ground.
The SOUND MARSHALS have recently gone on to record their impressive self-titled debut album (out this year), produced by John Kettle, and after successfully winning the popular XFM Uploaded competition the band are now making big steps towards their ultimate goal...
“Indie-genius, full of fat guitars, awesome beats and a bass that could pump the Thames dry…. Manchester should be proud of the Sound Marshals”- the mag.me.uk
"The driving rock of 'Lunatic' is impressive, building in ethereal, quieter moments to great effect alongside some well timed strings. There's an epic feel to 'Serotonin' even though it's no longer than the other tracks on here, but it's another exemplary performance...
...'Itchin' is a jangly ballad where the guitars cascade beneath the appealing vocal skills of Chris Cox. He's a brilliantly capable singer with shades of an early Guy Garvey and a soulful, almost flawless timbre.”– Manchester music .co.uk
“Sound Marshals wear their hearts firmly on their sleeves and there's nothing remotely pretentious about this...
the songs are memorable and unlike many demos I hear, they'll definitely be making the big leap from business to pleasure by going on my iPod. Their name might be rubbish but their music certainly isn't.” – Sandman Magazine
"(sound marshals) are increasingly winning people over with their "melodic indie-rock-pop...it is a sound that will always have fans and rightly so – when it's done as well as Sound Marshals do it, it is a treat." – BBC Manchester Introducing
