Every once in
a while, a group will release an album with music that is
so full of life, so full of energy and enthusiasm, that it
just jumps out, grabs one’s ears, and won’t let go. Chicago’s
Marizen are the latest band to pull off this impressive
feat; indeed, Marizen doesn’t just play music--they assault it. Using an arsenal of loud,
dirty guitars, rich, spidery bass lines, thundering percussion, and powerhouse
vocals. Marizen’s brand of power-pop is like a charging freight
train of sound, chugging along with an energy and
dyanamicism that is impossible to resist.
Since forming in 2001, Marizen have twice been finalists
in the Hard Rock Cafe Battle of the Bands, have become a
regular live attraction in Chicago and beyond, and have
released three critically acclaimed discs.
Now, entering their third year together, they have
worked with noted producer DeWayne Barron (Matchbox 20,
Roger Daltry) on their highly anticipated second
full-length album, FIELD. The title evokes thoughts
of a playing field, which is appropriate, for with this
album, Marizen makes the jump from the minor to the major
league. Certainly, the music on FIELD is their most
accomplished, most enjoyable to date.
