Band Marino - The Sea & The Beast

The Sea & The Beast cover art

They are a five-piece from Orlando. This album, their debut, was originally released in 2006 but has seen a nationwide "indie record shop" push this past year. As for the music, it's indie folk-rock, complete with mandolin, banjo, and harmonica. The lead singer has a very distinct voice; imagine Of Montreal's Kevin Barnes spending time in the mountains and you might have Band Marino's vocalist. There's some filler on this album, but there is also quite a few promising songs, the best being "Every Time I Make A Girl Cry I Know I've Done My Job."
