Astoria

The new album Astoria from Marians Trench will be released on October 23rd, 2015 on Cherrytree / 604 Records/ Interscope. The Vancouver-based quartet's front man Josh Ramsay describes the album as a loose concept record based around the band's love of 1980s fantasy and adventure films. While on the surface that sounds like a lighthearted exercise in millennial nostalgia, Ramsay says the album was actually created under the most challenging personal circumstances he and the band have experienced to date.

Since their 2006 debut album Fix Me, Marianas Trench have had two Certified Platinum albums in Canada, and Ramsay also received a Grammy nomination in 2013 for co-writing and producing Carly Rae Jepsen's breakthrough smash "Call Me Maybe."
