____________________
The Marwills are a 5-piece Sex Rock band based in Toronto, ON. Tight, ballsy, and bluesy, they play intense guitar-driven rock and roll with a focus on outstanding musicianship and a consistently greasy sound. Their live show is a massive dose of equal parts sweat, sonic sex, and gritty rock and roll.
Made up of Brett Bonvie (vocals), Jesse Morrissey (guitar), Graeme McGillivray (guitar), Bryn Besse (bass) and James Law (drums), The Marwills are a thick, juicy cut of Rock stuffed with the Blues, stroked and soaked until hard and greasy, then covered in Grade A Canadian dirt. Their sound conjures smoky blues bars, shady drinking establishments, and the golden age of rock and roll. They make music with serious guts and they sweat while they do it.
Although their debut album, “Marwill St.”, was released in 2012, most of the members have been playing together in some form or another for almost a decade. Starting out in small-town BC then playing biker bars and Hell’s Angels’ gatherings in Alberta for a number of years, The Marwills continued east to the big smoke of Toronto, where they’ve established themselves as a rocking tour de force to be reckoned with.
The Marwill’s newest release, “Facts & Figures” (2014) is a raw rock album full of bluesy riffs, crunchy guitars, and lustful lyrics, rounded out along the edges with backing vocals, slide guitar, keys, sax, a female choir, fiddle, and acoustic guitar for a touch of mature nuance.
“The Marwills – fresh, exciting, talented, exploding with energy and excitement – these guys were a highlight of the festival weekend!” Marianne Glover (Music Director, Tay Creek Folk Festival)
“…this is what real musicians should sound like.” Baxter Labatos (Sphere Music Blog)
