MARVEL (BalconyTV)

PRESENTED BY LAYLA ANNA-LEE <br /> <br />Marvel make blisteringly exciting dance music. Fusing the attitude of Refused to the unhinged performance spirit of At The Drive-in, Marvel stage an apocalyptic barbershop dance party for the 2010s. They sing: you cant have heard a sound like this before. You better believe it. <br /> <br />Using abrasive guitars and dirty industrial synths, Marvel create massive, full-pelt dance punk anthems. They are just as likely to insight a mass sing-along, as they are to start a riot. Big choruses brimming with heart balance their unstoppable freight train riffing. It takes a talented band to wreak musical chaos yet still maintain catchiness and accessibility. Marvel do it with aplomb. <br /> <br />The boys share a relentless DIY ethic. They self-funded and recorded their first EP Marvel At This Fiasco, self-made 500 copies and sold out of all of them in a matter of months. They also design and make all their own t-shirts, badges and web content. At home in the Island of Jersey, Marvel are infamous for ramming out abandoned restaurants and secluded scout halls with hundreds of party-hungry kids passionate about their music. <br /> <br />http://www.myspace.com/marveljersey <br /> <br />Tune in again tomorrow!
