MARCHING ROOM

R.I.P. 2007

About Me


"With a good shot of pop shaken, not stirred to boot. Their initial single 'Black & Blue' is a Brit popper's wet dream; tight, unyielding and insatiably catchy"
- Ellie Glass The Brag July 2004
"A plaintive dirty wash, sparse to brooding warmth drifting toward a lively cutting shuffle. Phonograph? Too Bloody Good"
-Steve Andersen The Drum Media March 2005
“For the second straight month in a row (for me), the Sandwich Clubbers have put on the best night out in Sydney. Candy’s was packed last night as Marching Room launched their new EP to a very enthusiastic crowd. They are a really tight band and they had some pretty great songs that got the crowd moving.”
- www.a-reminder.org/music, November 24th, 2006
“Marching Room (the band formerly known as Phonograph) has just been added to tomorrow night’s bill. This band has been held in the highest of esteem since the Sandwich Club began…we hope you enjoy them as much as we do…”
- Baron von Hutch, www.sandwichclub.fm September 07
