Marianas Trench
Marianas Trench is a Juno award nominated Canadian pop punk band from Vancouver, British Columbia signed to 604 Records. The band released their first full length album Fix Me on October 3, 2006. Some of the demos the band sent out four years before appear on the album. The band's biggest musical influences are Queen, The Foo Fighters, The Beach Boys and Ben Folds Five. The name "Marianas Trench" came from the Mariana Trench, the deepest known point in the world. The band has been known to create stories of how they decided on it in interviews. The band released their second studio album on February 24, 2009 titled, Masterpiece Theatre. Josh Ramsay started a solo career and needed a supporting band during touring. He managed to recruit high school friend Matt Webb and local musicians Steve Marshall, Morgan Hempsted and Ian Casselman. The band worked out so well that they decided to form a band named Ramsay Fiction. After signing to 604 Records in early 2003, they changed their name and became Marianas Trench. Steve Marshall and Morgan Hempsted would leave the band around this time and Ian would call Mike Ayley, an old friend to join the band who would become the band's new bass guitarist.[1] Matt Webb would also switch from being the band's pianist to become the bands new lead guitarist. The band presented an award during the 2007 MMVA's. They made an appearance on the tv show Kyle XY and their song "Alibis" from their debut album Fix Me, was put on the soundtrack. Shake Tramp peaked on #1 on the Much Music Countdown and "Shake Tramp", was later nominated for Video of the Year Juno
