RadioIndy is pleased to present Marsiglia with a GrIndie Award for the CD "A Band In Your Dreams"

"A Band In Your Dreams" is the debut album from Pennsylvania indie rock outfit Marsiglia. Marsiglia blends bluesy riffs, blistering guitar solos, toe-tapping drum beats, and unique poppy vocals to create a great college rock sound that fuses together a number of influences. The arrangements are tight, drawing from both classic and modern rock sounds. Similarly, the vocal performance has nice variety to it, and Marsiglia as a whole can sound like Incubus, Rage Against the Machine, and Kings of Leon, as well as an array of classic rock artists. The songs are fast-paced and in-your-face, very creative, with great hooks and catchy lyrics. "A Band In Your Dreams" is well-produced and the instrumentation and vocals sound clean and balanced. "Past the Point" begins with ambience, then slowly builds into a great arrangement with excellent lead and rhythm guitar work, a nice beat, and is lyrical and catchy. "Love of the Game" and the closer, "Heavy Water," stand out as slower paced tracks with more diverse arrangements, inserting the piano and cello, respectively, into the songs to accompany the great, memorable lyrics. With "A Band In Your Dreams," Marsiglia have arrived, though with an album title as immodest as this one, the band itself may not be surprised to hear how good it actually is. Fans of classic and blues rock influenced college rock should definitely look into Marsiglia.
