Connect with Marina City: Facebook | Twitter |

Marina City is a band that had their debuted at a sold-out House of Blues show, the sextet has since gained an intensely dedicated fan base they call ‘The Lost Boys.’ This fan base has opened the door for Marina City to tour over a dozen times across the country, playing Warped Tour, Riot Fest, CMJ Music Marathon, SXSW, and share the stage with national/ international touring acts such as: Go Radio, Senses Fail, Amanda Palmer, Drake Bell, State Champs, Real Friends, and more. The sextet features lead vocalist Ryan Argast, guitarist and vocalist Brian Johnson, keyboardist and vocalist Matt Gaudiano, drummer Eric Somers-Urrea, bassist Aaron Heiy, and lead guitarist Todor Birindjiev. With a degree in music performance, drummer Eric Somers-Urrea creates a strong rhythmic backbone for bassist Aaron Heiy’s deep pocket to groove within. Todor Birindjiev, takes each song to new heights with his infectious guitar solos and ripping lead lines. And Hammond artist Matthew Gaudiano on keys teams up with guitarist Brian Johnson to create the hard-hitting and aggressive center of the band. However, the biggest standout factor for Marina City is that it features 3 lead vocalists. Gaudiano’s smooth R&B style and Johnson’s raw punk sound compliment the power and emotion of front man/ lead vocalist Ryan Argast.  Their latest single “Addicted,” carries on the pop-rock sound they are so well known for, while keeping their danceability and songwriting skills in top form.
