“The group manages to present a contemporary take on rock n’ roll, all while paying homage to Laurel Canyon-esque, folk influenced rock of the 1960s and 70s.” – Baeble Music
NYC’s MARCO WITH LOVE have released their new single “Tidal Wave” – the title track from their upcoming EP, due out on July 17th. The 4-song record will be the follow-up release to 2014’s widely embraced single “Love,” and will be the debut of the first collaborative effort with the newly formed lineup. Born as a solo project in mid 2013, Marco With Love has evolved into a dynamic foursome featuring some of the Tri State Area’s finest players – Peter Landi (Drums), Subodh Samudre (Bass), and Blaine O’Brien (Pedal Steel). The band’s vibrant sound gives a nod to influences such as Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and Revolver-era Beatles, while also appealing to fans of current tastemakers like Father John Misty, Deer Trick, and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes. Baeble Music claims the band “encapsulates all of the ingredients of the Country Fried Rock hashtag,” and produces an “authentic rock n’ roll sound.”
The Tidal Wave EP was primarily produced by Anthony “Rocky” Gallo and vocalist Marco Argiro at Virtue and Vice Studios in Brooklyn. The record also includes a very special Townes Van Zandt cover recorded and mixed by Terry Derkach at VRTCL Entertainment New York, which will be revealed in the coming weeks. Gallo is an experienced producer and recording engineer whose name holds credits with artists like John Legend, Common, Norah Jones, Gavin DeGraw, Cat Power, Yeasayer, Carly Simon, Jon Bon Jovi, and several others. As the former Chief Engineer at The Cutting Room studios for years, Gallo has worked on platinum award-winning and many Grammy-nominated projects.
“When we were writing and recording the songs on this EP, it was the first time the band was able to really dig in and work collaboratively on new material. With all our influences and experiences, it gave us the opportunity to push ourselves beyond the boundaries of traditional country and folk music by blending it with classic R&B and adding a touch of psychedelia in order to create our own special blend of rock n’ roll,” says vocalist Marco Argiro.
The “Tidal Wave” single will be available for purchase on June 30th, and fans will be able to purchase the full EP on iTunes and other digital retailers on July 17th. The band will also perform at this year’s Mosaic Music Festival in Thompson, PA on June 12th. For more information on Marco With Love, visit www.marcowithlove.com.
