Awesome Song, Awesome Band


With all the music submissions we get, my Ipod is a fun little toy that is ever changing tunes. Occasionally there will be a song that I didn't get to really listen to in detail before it made it to the Ipod. One of those songs that just blew me away was 'Maybe Baby' by Gabriel the Marine.

Gabriel the Marine is a five piece indie rock band, hailing from right here on Long Island NY. You might have heard them before. They have been broadcasted as a feature on 92.3 Krock (RIP fm), played Bamboozle this year next to No Doubt, Taking Back Sunday and others, featured on Purevolume as a featured artists, and moved audiences all over.

The song 'Maybe Baby' rings so true; It is eerie, depressing, inspiring, and hopeful. The emotions that were brought forth were so moving, I had to play the song multiple times to sort them all out. They have a sound like none I've been fed before. The lyrics are capitivating and Michael's voice does the perfect job of capturing the emotion behind them.

The boys (Michael Desmond (Guitar, Vocals), Dylan Ebrahimian (Piano, Violin, Vocals), Robbie Hassett (Bass), Dominick D'Agostino (Guitar), and Tommy Davis (Drums)) are on tour right now with Asteria and A Love Like Pi through August and then will back in NY for a couple of shows.

With all the bands out there it's hard to find the ones you really enjoy. Gabriel the Marine it one to along with Coldplay, Dave Matthews and O.A.R.
