Alas

Sexy Marvin is an enigmatic Brit-Rock band from America with unique melodic vocals, accompanied by strong and catchy music.

The band came as a result of a long friendship between the members, which have been playing together since the mid 90′s.

The musical influences of the band range from Morrisey and Depeche Mode, to Pink Floyd, Yes and The Beatles. These and many more bands have shaped what is the sound of Sexy Marvin: a “trendy catchy timeless music” with powerful bass, guitar tones, special keyboards and piano with very brit rock beat, rhythm and sound.

As an independent band they have come a long way from doing small local gigs to music festivals. They have also performed as an opening act for bands like Muse, The Killers and Peter Hook among many others.

After the release of their EP title ¨Sexy Marvin¨, the band was ready to record their first full album title “Beautiful Combination”

Description
Mexico’s finest Indie Rockers Sexy Marvin

by Dave Chislett Music Journalist

Sexy Marvin – Follow This is an incredible three-piece band from America. And their sound is, well it’s different. Follow is a rollicking, piano driven number with excellent baritone vocals and an awesome sing along harmonic chorus. It will make you think of Nick Cave at times, but also at time New Model Army while sounding completely nothing like either of the two. Enigmatic and fun, Sexy Marvin are a very cool band. Might be time to go and find some more of their music somewhere.

Johnny D from Sexy Marvin recently played with Coldplay when they toured in Mexico and when they told the Coldplay guys they were collaborating with Matchbox they said “Yeah we know Matchbox they’re cool”. Well thanks Coldplay, we used to have an office a floor above where Coldplay recorded the “Yellow” demo and always predicted they would be huge.

If the world has justice it’ll be Sexy Marvin next for world domination.
