Marlon Spike is getting ready to take over Manhattan with their groovy sounds! These 4 talented musicians know how to play, and play hard they do! Take our word for it - once you start chilling with Marlon Spike and their jazz inspired music you won't want to stop - their sound is that infectious!


  H.Notes

"It's easy to see why Marlon Spike is destined for great things. After all, what else could be expected from a band that can truly be hailed as refreshingly original-and who wants nothing more than to play their songs for a crowd who feels the same passion for their music as they do?

[Marlon Spike] manages to shock their listeners not just with the amount of talent the members have, but with their determination and heaven-sent deviance from the pop-culture norms of this generation.

Instead of relying on a guitarist for signature licks, the saxophone [gives] Marlon Spike a unique sound that will still spin around in your mind long after the song has ended. That coupled with strikingly heartfelt lyrics and the smooth voices of LoPresto and Sarkissian leaves Marlon Spike with a distinct style… Each song has an individual sound and melody.

As we dive further into the twenty-first century, however, music lovers everywhere are trying desperately to escape the rut of talentless idols and start a revolution... And Marlon Spike is just the band to lead it."

      Signalfading

    "Marlon Spike delivers a 12 track full length that's chock full of well-written and superbly structured songs. One Step Closer represents a level of professionalism rarely found among independent musicians. When I popped the disc in, I was impressed to say the least... some great hooks, especially vocally and on the piano. I can hear it all over college and major radio stations."

      302 Music - 08/23/2003

    "This is a great band to listen to live. I just loved the way the piano, [sax], bass, and drums all played off each other. These guys are awesome musicians and they know how to write complex but very interesting song compositions."

    Elm Online - 01/23/2003

    "The band has an excellent presence, with a lot of energy. Their sound is a quality fusion of rock and jazz, a welcome change of pace compared to the current music scene. The variety of material they're playing is great - some stuff is rockin' [while other stuff is] soulful."
