Artist description Marwood is Benji Rogers (vocal/guitar), Rob Overbey (guitar/vocal), Brett Conti (bass/vocal) and John O'Reilly Jr. (drums). The band is based in New York City’s East Village with roots spanning from Tennessee to Europe. This diverse quartet came together in 2002 and performs all over NYC at venues including The Knitting Factory and The Mercury Lounge, and most recently sold out downtown venues The Village Underground and Pianos. Marwood’s music might be described as alternative-pop-meets-guitar-rock, or alternative-rock-meets-guitar-pop or alt-pop-tart…or something like that. At the core, the band will simply say it’s good rock & roll. Fans will add that it’s driving rhythms combined with memorable tunes they hum long after the song ends. Radio stations are quickly catching on. The track “Souless” has gotten spins on NYC’s Q104.3 (Clear Channel), where Marwood was named one of the top local bands of 2002. In April of 2003, the band was #3 on the top 30 spins list at WCWP in New York. In September ‘02 Marwood signed with Home Office Records, and in February ‘03 released an EP entitled “Radio Personalities.” The EP incorporates studio acoustic sessions as well as live electric tracks. A follow-up EP is due this summer, with a full-length album to follow. The band’s first full-length, “Regular Fips” (2002), is set to go into its second pressing, while touring plans are also in the works. Watch out for Marwood – you can’t miss ‘em!
