Marrow

 Marrow is a new four-piece indie rock band from Chicago. Three of the band's four members hail from the much-celebrated Kids These Days, which called it quits last May. "I'm really pleased and happy with the support from Kids These Days fans" says Marrow's guitarist and vocalist Liam Cunningham. "It's totally different music so it's really cool to us that the same people still dig it." "Totally different" it is. Whereas KTD's tunes had horns, soulful rhythms and raps a la now solo hip hop artist Vic Mensa, Marrow offers a more rock-steady approach to Cunningham and keyboardist Macy Stewart's (also a former Kids These Days member) songwriting. Cunningham listed bands like Grizzly Bear, Thundercat and Deerhoof as major influences. Being in a band is nothing new to the members of Marrow but Liam admitted the shift in musical direction feels like "starting from square one." Cunningham and Stewart were fresh graduates of Whitney Young High School when they hit the road with KTD. Now, at just 20 years old, they're celebrating another successful, and ambitious, release under their new moniker. Marrow released its debut two-song EP TWO earlier this month along with a single music video encompassing both songs.
