Marillion - "Sounds That Can’t Be Made"

Often referred to as the leaders of the neo-progressive movement of the early 80s... Marillion is way more than that. Album after album Marillion have showed everybody that to relate their name only to Keyleigh and the 7 millions seller album "Misplaced Childhood" would be only considering a small part of their long history. During their 30 years long career, their sound became stronger and deeper album by album, renewing tour after tour a relationship with one of the most loyal fanbase in rock and roll history.

The always-mentioned Genesis are part of the Marillion "audio cocktail" as much as Radiohead or hard rock is. Ask each member of the band, and you´d probably receive complete different answers. It´s the union of these strong and different personalities that make the sound of Marillion.

The British band have created a world of their own, they have fought and won the fight for artistic independence with deeply-moving music and the long-standing reputation for blistering live shows which have earned them an impressive and faithful global fanbase.

Lead singer Steve Hogarth, guitarist Steve Rothery, keyboardist Mark Kelly, bassist Pete Trewavas and drummer Ian Mosley, have enjoyed a rich and successful career with 16 studio albums and over 20 UK-Top 40 hits. Classic Rock magazine referred to them as "A National Treasure".

Throughout their 30 years career, the band has consistently dodged categorization by crafting distinct, evocative music.
