Style Hard Rock

Profile The Black Marbles was formed as an offspring of the band On Parole back in 2009. Members then included Christian Smedström (the Awesome Machine, On Parole, Christian & the 2120’s), Tobbe Bövik (the Awesome Machine, On Parole) and Mattias Ohde (Solarius, On Parole). The style was agreed on groovy 70’s rock with lots of melodies. Inspired by bands such as Bad Company, Free, Humble Pie and the Faces the band started writing material. In the spring of 2010 they found the perfect singer for the job. Kaj Paxéus came in and the band was complete.

Unfortunately due to commitments of his soloproject, Christian had to leave the band late 2010. The search was on for a replacement who quickly could learn the songs as an album was going to be recorded in spring/summer of 2011. Soon enough the guys found the amazing Philip Karlsson who had all the right chops for the job as well as an amazing technical skill. During summer/autumn the band recorded 13 songs in their own studio, “studi-O-felia”. Produced and mixed by Tobbe Bövik and mastered by Henryk Lipp (D-A-D, Captain Murphy, Mando Diao etc), the album will see the light during spring 2012.
