“Gonna roll the dice on a plate of sin” -- Born Tonight

You may have already heard of MARRA'S DRUG frontman, Steve Zing.  Member of Danzig, and formerly a member of both heavy rock legends Samhain and Son of Sam, Zing is considered to be an icon of the heavy rock genre.

That said, Zing is not the type to put any sort of musical limitations on himself. Influenced by everything from heavy punk rock to metal to progressive rock – even ‘50s music! -- Marra's Drug debut CD is heavy, yet at the same time listener-friendly. “Marra's Drug music is indescribable,” Zing explains. “It’s very intense – it’s not pop punk, and we’re not whining.”

Perhaps New Jersey-based Marra's Drug music is diverse because all four bandmembers did not cut their teeth on the same musical fare. “We didn’t all grow up on punk rock,” Zing reveals. “I grew up on heavy punk and ‘50s music, like early Elvis, Bill Hailey and Buddy Holly. Falco and Caton dig hard-core metal, Danno is into progressive rock…our music has each of our signatures, and we put our own spins into it. We rarely listen to the radio or to other new bands.”

The tunes are aggressive, in-your-face and honest. Of course there’s anger in there, which is at the core of any good heavy rock music. Yet, there is also a very subtle underlying melancholy if you listen closely enough. Zing continues, “We don’t try to write songs. We do what is best for the song, whatever it takes to make the best tune possible.”

So how did these four, like-minded yet musically diverse musicians find each other? “We were all in different bands in New Jersey,” Zing says. “We were each unhappy with our current situations, and found each other through the sheer desire to get better players and form an equal partnership.”

Beyond the gripping music, Marra's Drug’s strengths lie mainly in its live show. “We like to convey our energy to the people through our live show,” says Zing. “We just keep moving – we never stop. Photographers complain to us all the time that they can’t get decent shots because we’re always moving! But we don’t wanna just stand there – if we did that, why come see us live? People can just stay home and put the record on. We want people to go home and say, ‘Hell yeah, that was a great show.’”

Marra's Drug are looking forward to taking their music out of New Jersey and unleashing it onto the world at large. “The east coast has become a cover band cesspool,” Zing sighs. “Every band has its own cover band…there are tribute bands to the tribute bands. We are at least trying to do something original musically, which will interest and excite fans of heavy music. We’re intense, energetic, and we love what we’re doing.”

Welcome to the world of Marra's Drug – raw, energetic music your parents will hate.
