Hit The Lights!

About Me

is Davina Divine, Ross Nelson, Stephen Parker and Matt Evans mainly hailing from Scotland. Formed in November 2004 by Davina & Ross as an acoustic duo, their debut song ‘Sanitize’ beat 500 acts from across the globe to land the number one spot on an independent radio show in Chicago. By virtue of it's strong pop hooks coupled with its authentic rock sensibilities, it topped the pile of demos propping up the desks of ‘Acoustic Review’ who called it “a true classic” and led ‘New Music Scotland’ to announce “a record of considerable grace and poise.”
Recorded between two bedroom’s in West Edinburgh, the overriding themes in their music - positivity, solace, understanding - sees the duo make light of the darkest situations: a trait often overlooked in today’s increasingly cynical, me-first society. And such is their quality, immediacy and warmth. No wonder Barry Gordon, music journalist for The Scotsman and Scotland’s highest circulation newspaper, the Daily Record, commented: “it’s only a matter of time before David Geffen is looking up Edinburgh on a map.” “Broken promises, shattered dreams, the will to surge on amid the rubble of a beautiful world that’s lost a lot of it’s colour, ” Davina Divine says Turn It Around, “is designed to inspire, help you escape and confront your fears. It will make you realise that, by looking hard enough, you can see there’s still a lot of beauty in the world.”
Davina & Ross then deceided to bolster their sound with bassist, Stephen Parker bestowing an awesome power. Close friends for the past three years with Davina, Ross is proud of his ability to play pop with his authentic rock appreciation intact. Davina, who writes the majority of the band’s lyrics, has been recognised for a voice that touches the head as well as the heart.
The band are now ready to release their debut single 'HIT THE LIGHTS' on March 12th which will be available from the online (fresh new design!) shop which shall be shortly launched!Help spread the word of The Mars Patrol by using any of these brilliant banners wherever you please!

REVIEWS OF THE NEW SINGLE

• MUSIC NEWS SCOTLAND / SUBBA CULTCHA (London)
How much longer must this band punch below their weight until they are moved up a division? New single 'Hit The Lights' is further evidence of their ability to write brilliant, catchy rock and roll songs. This one could stand shoulder to shoulder with anything else out there at this moment in time, easily! They're a talented, gifted bunch with a hardcore worldwide fanbase that grows from healthy appreciation and genuine admiration for the music they make. Go buy this record and listen to it because The Mars Patrol are a big deal now, sir!

• STREET VOICE UK MUSIC MAGAZINE
Another great pop song from Scottish band 'The Mars Patrol' is now out. Despite only getting sent one track on a promo cd I can safely say if the other tracks that come with it are only half as good as 'Hit The Lights' then you're in a for a treat. Vocals from 'Davina Divine' are spot on as usual as is the guitar from 'Ross Nelson' and bass from 'Stephen Parker'. Check the Mars Patrol out now if bouncy Pop/Rock is your thing.
