Marianas Trench biography

Multi-Double Platinum-selling pop band, Marianas Trench, released their new album PHANTOMS. The PHANTOMS album serves as a self-contained universe for the band’s songs to exist in –

a house possessed by the spirit of lingering loss and inhabited by someone who’s being driven into madness by the ghost of a former love. Like past records, PHANTOMS finds the Vancouver-based four-piece pushing their musical boundaries relentlessly. From the jaw-dropping a cappella opener, Eleonora to its unapologetically epic closer, The Killing Kind, PHANTOMS sheer emotional weight and brutal honesty will leave a lasting mark on listeners. The first single I Knew You When was released in the Fall of 2018 and charted for 6 months at Hot AC and CHR radio. It reached the Top 10 at Hot AC radio.

In early May of this year, the most recent music video, Only the Lonely Survive was released. The video involved submissions from the bands fan base, known as the Trenchers. Amongst the quarantine restrictions each band member was able to film their parts separately and the video was edited to include pieces of each fans submission. With a slew of Top 10 radio hits to it’s credit such as Who Do You Love, Rhythm of Your Heart, Fallout, and Haven’t Had Enough, Marianas Trench is constantly pushing the boundaries of pop and translating that into their explosive live shows. Last year, the band completed three headlining tours in the USA, Canada, and Europe.

Live reviews

Canadian pop outfit Marianas Trench have been working as a unit since the early 2000s and despite their obscure name sake, they have gained a global cult following for their pop/rock sounds. The original lineup has stood the test of time thus far and this always helps with onstage dynamics and interaction with the fans.

The fans are really passionate about the music and the band themselves, screaming and cheering to deafening levels as the band steps out and applauds the rather unexpected scene. The devotees prove themselves once again by eagerly singing back the choruses in time with lead singer Josh Ramsay. Although this band is considered a pop/rock outfit, you cannot deny the musicians have some great musical abilities and clearly care about the live aspect of the sound when performing. They whip the crowd into a suitable frenzy by the time they are ready to close with 'Fallout' and 'Shake Tramp'. The stage setup may have been minimal but this well considered setlist was more than enough to enthuse the fans tonight.
