MARATHON

We reap the comfort while the Third World bleeds.

About Me

In May of 2006, Marathon ended just as we started three and a half years before: playing our best songs to our closest friends. The only difference was that, at the end, we had quite a few more friends singing along than we had at the beginning. Thank you to everyone for the best shows we've ever played, and the best time we've ever had.
Thanks for everything. We appreciate it more than words can say.
- Marathon
