The Marital

Neo-Post-Punk quartet The Marital formed in late 2010. After an early incarnation of the band fell apart due to creative differences. The new line up was now singer/guitarist Kevin Peraza, lead guitarist Ean Brown, bassist Matt Binderim, and drummer Nick Diamantides. Kevin, Ean and Nick all met while attending Renaissance School for the arts. They later met Matt after a battle of the bands. Now turning away from main stream pop rock to a darker and more serious tone. With Songs out like Skeletal System and White Raven the band has earned comparison to contemporary bands such as Editors and Interpol as well as ancestors like Joy Division. Using ambiguous lyrics and some times story telling, Kevin has been compared to lyricists like R.E.M's Michael Stipe. But his vocals more resembling that of Editors' Tom Smith. Ean Brown has been playing guitar for years and was influenced by old rock idols like David Bowie which sneaks into the rhythm of the songs. Matt's punchy and heavy bass leads most of the songs as if it were the lead instrument. All of this powered by the heart pounding drums of Nick. Combining influences from each band member The Marital has created a unique sound.
