Marquis Drive are very good friends of Clobber Magazine, they’re also a very good band, and they have just released a brand new single which is also very good, the track is simply entitled ‘Proud’.
Whenever I write about music it’s always written from the heart, to me there’s nothing more annoying than some poncy music journo whittling on about melodic sub texts, hidden messages, and the meaning of life in relation to the said tune, if you’re reading this Mark Kermode (which I am sure you are) then yes, I mean you, ya bellend!
Right, where was I? Oh yeah, Proud, the single is a tale of overcoming modern day worries and mental health, and (just like my writing) it comes straight from the heart, from the soul. The catchy opening riff sets the tone for the rest of the track and the lucent lyrics are delivered with superbly strong vocals, these words are made even more poignant when set against the backdrop of the thought provoking video (below).
So there you have it, no need for twenty paragraphs of nonsensical nothingness, just the bare facts, Proud is a brilliant track from a brilliant band who have recently been signed to Alan McGee’s Creation 23 label.
So it’s onwards and upwards for our top mates Marquis Drive, and trust me, you will be hearing a lot more about them in the future. So go and buy the track and play it to everyone that you know, it will instantly make you at least 50 times cooler, not to mention much more attractive the opposite sex!
