Marathon is not just a band, it’s a top-level sport. The Amsterdam-based trio is bursting with energy, and it explodes out of them on stage, captivating audiences everywhere they go.
Marathon’s music is a passionate response to the crisis-ridden twenty-first century, channelling the energy of punk and the dissonance of shoegaze and post-punk to give voice to urban anxiety. Lennart’s dynamic drumming, Kay’s aggressive vocal delivery, and Nina’s skillful six-string bass work create an explosive mix that is both raw and polished.
Live, Marathon is a force to be reckoned with, with keyboardist Sofie and guitarist Victor bringing even more depth to their layered songs. Together, they create a high-energy defense against the doom and gloom of the modern world, making the uncomfortable bearable. Marathon is a band that demands attention, and their growing fan base is a testament to their undeniable talent.
Blending post-punk aggression with ambient soundscapes, the light and shade in the music of Liverpool five-piece Dog Sport mirrors the small pleasures found between long working hours, growing up in uninspiring industrial towns, and living amongst the organised chaos of the city.
