Marching Band is an indie pop band based in Linköping, Sweden. In 2008, their first full-length album Spark Large was recorded and highlights the bands one of a kind indie pop sound. While the group does use the mainstay rock sounds of guitars, drums and bass guitar, they also employ an array of more eccentric musical instruments for an indie pop band, such as banjo, vibraphone, Arp Solina and unique vocal harmonies.
Swedish duo MARCHING BAND continue to land in playlists around the globe with their debut album SPARK LARGE that is out now in the US and Japan, with a lot of european countries to follow this spring. The critically lauded album features an eclectic mix of instrumentation that delivers sweet atmospheric folk and indie-pop. The album was released on August 5 from U&L Records and is out in stores now.
This spring MARCHING BAND will release a 5-track EP with some new and som old songs that will show the diversity of the MARCHING BAND sound even more.
MARCHING BAND debuted on the CMJ radio charts at 68 with more than 24 stations charting spins. The band quickly gained early radio support in Los Angeles when tracks from the new album surfaced on KCRW and INDIE 103.1. Since then, Marching Band has been put into rotation at radio nationwide including an NPR "World Cafe" feature and adds in New York, Boston, Seattle, Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Philadelphia and beyond.MARCHING BAND's publisher Urband & Lazar Music Publishing have also confirmed the band's inclusion in the motion picture: Nick And Nora's Infinite Playlist (Sony Pictures). The band's song "TRUST YOUR STOMACH" is featured on the soundtrack and in the film that stars Michael Cera and also includes music from Vampire Weekend, Band Of Horses, Modest Mouse, The National, Mark Mothersbaugh and more.
