“The tension of modernity finally bursts with one hell of a racket” – NME
“a band that defies description” – Rolling Stone
“will leave listeners breathless but begging for more” – DIY Magazine
“when these guys eventually go into full record mode, it’s going to be incredible” – Anthony Fantano
Manchester’s Maruja announce their highly anticipated debut album ‘Pain to Power’, due for release by Music For Nations on 12th September and produced by Samuel W Jones, who the band worked with on their three EPs to date. The extraordinary eight track collection not only confirms the four piece as a creative force of nature but finds a deeply emotional and empathetic band concerned primarily with the power of community, both in the nuclear sense, as a tight knit creative unit, but also as a wider force for social and political change in the age of the individual.
The first taste of the album is new single ‘Look Down On Us’, a furious cry against the impact of late-stage capitalism and the wealth of the one percent on global society.
This is protest music at its most potent. Thought-provoking, unifying and intensely cathartic, it places the band in the great canon of artists using their art to propel change.
Maruja are Harry Wilkinson (vocals/guitar), Joseph Carroll (sax), Matt Buonaccorsi (bass) and Jacob Hayes (drums)
