Fix Me, Marianas Trench’s full-length 604 Records debut, documents a hugely ambitious Vancouver quartet. The album’s 11 songs cram in more hooks and ideas than the pop medium can typically absorb. The Dave Genn (MGB, 54.40) produced sound is raw and alive, marked by Ramsay’s wounded howl, the rhythm section’s lockstep surge and one flaming guitar riff after the next. As for the tightly arranged tag-team vocals, they’re the real deal, free from any post-production tweaking and a highlight of the live show. Fix Me was the general public’s first introduction to Marianas Trench and it didn’t take long for their music to reach the living rooms of fans across the country. Singles “Say Anything,” “Shaketramp” and “Decided to Break It” propelled Marianas Trench to national recognition and laid the foundation for future #1 hits. Marianas Trench will be touring Europe for the first time this fall. The anticipation from their dedicated and ever-expanding fan base in Europe is brewing. With hits such as One Love, Fallout, Haven’t Had Enough, and Stutter, this pop-rock quartet constantly raises the bar for quality music, which translates into their explosive live shows. This past spring and summer, Marianas Trench performed sold out shows across Canada and the USA. Marianas Trench was formed in Vancouver, BC by triple-threat lead singer/songwriter/producer Josh Ramsay who received a Grammy nomination in 2012 for his production and co-writing of Carly Rae Jepsen’s pop gem break-through “Call Me Maybe.” Marianas Trench has released four full-length albums in Canada with two – Ever After and Masterpiece Theatre – being certified platinum. The band is signed to 604 Records/Sony in Canada.
