Stella Marconi have three tracks up on Soundcloud, the  first one I'm featuring is "One Off Free," a driving track that evokes the Manchester punk scene of the late 1970's and brings it forward to the 21st Century. There are elements of The Clash, Sex Pistols and The Ramones audible in "One Off Free" and I highly recommend it as an example of the pre-Joy Division punk sound that was taking shape in Manchester. If I didn't know any better, I would think these guys were at The Gig to End All Gigs.

 

The second track is The Ramones inspired "Moan." I half expected the band to launch into a cover of "Blitzkrieg Bop" but instead created a song that would make Joey Ramone proud. This track is the perfect song for a late night party with all your friends and best played as loud as possible.


Stella Marconi is unsigned and is currently posting their tracks on Soundcloud. They are performing in the Manchester area in February and March (Click here for gigs and dates).
