Marigold

I think it's time that Marigold got their own thread. Sure, I whore them alot, but it's time you people got formally introduced to the phenomenon known as Marigold. And if I've whored them to you before, I really urge you to check them out again. Okay.

Marigold formed when main guitarist/singer Vadim Taver's old metalcore band This Day Forward broke up. He quickly got together with bassist Scotty Kurtain, guitarist Jason Wilson and drummer Nick Tazza and formed Marigold. If your looking for something like This Day Forward, look elsewhere, as Marigold is an indie rock/post-hardcore band. Marigold go from atmospheric verses with echoing picking lines, to fast punk progressions to heavy metal breakdowns. Taver's vocals go from a steady melodic tone to an emotional falsetto, all while doing some impressive picking lines. Jason Wilson gives the occasional abrasive scream, but nothing to in your face. Nick Tazza keeps the song moving with his rhthymic drums and Scotty Kurtain plays some funky bass. On their purevolume site, they are described as a mix between This Day Forward and Sunny Day Real Estate. They really do sound very much like SDRE, so any fan of them should definitely check out. They recorded a three song demo which I have, but two of the songs are on the purevolume site ("Movement One In A Minor," "This Day Has Opened My Eyes") along with a new song from their upcoming demo ("No 12"). If you really enjoy them, you can contact me on AIM at finchevelle73 for the third song from the EP, "Footsteps." And if your more of the acoustic kind of girl/guy, check out Taver's acoustic band Superstitions Of The Sky at http://www.purevolume.com/superstitionsofthesky.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
