THIS IS NOT AN EXIT

About Me


Formed during Christmas of 2002, Marlow have endured a slow start to emerge as one of the best unsigned bands in Central Scotland.
Fronted by Chris Quinn, his graceful, soaring vocals are matched by Chris Leslie's stunning, primary-coloured guitar. Underpinned by the melodic basslines of Craig G Telfer and the taught rhythms of Mark Cameron, Marlow's widescreen vision of "music without a roof over it's head" is found in every one of their songs, from the euphoric rush of Across Winter to the melody-soaked drama of You Cannot Stop New York City.
Having drawn comparisons to the likes of Echo and The Bunnymen, U2 and a host of bands from the 80's, Marlow's passionate music and vaulting ambition have found the band developing a unique sound all of their own. In the coming months, Marlow will certainly be regarded as one of Scotland's greatest bands.
"One of the best bands in the country just now playing live"
John D., Pinup Nights
"This is so good... I can't believe they're not signed!"
Martin Bate, XfM Radio
"These guys are rock diamonds... a cut above the rest"
James Trimble, The Falkirk Herald
"They should be playing in stadiums"
Vic Galloway, Radio One
