The Marble Index
The Marble Index
(Death of Records/Universal)
Oh the thrill of the three-piece! Hailing from Hamilton, The Marble Index brings the joy of simplicity, pushing instruments to the limit. This band plays hard, from the big chords of opener “I Believe.” Ryan Tweedle twists and snakes his bass through and around each tune—do his fingers bleed? Adam Knickle kicks ass on the skins and Ryan Malcolm tops it off with said power chords and cooler-than-the-Stills singing. Hopefully they’ll journey to Halifax soon.
