Marianas Trench
On Tour

Given his feverish imagination and comprehensive musical gifts, Ramsay could probably get away with a little egomania. And with the release of Masterpiece Theatre, the frontman of Vancouver’s Marianas Trench makes a iron-clad case for a prodigious set of talents - both his own and those of his bandmates, guitarist Matt Webb, bassist Mike Ayley, and drummer Ian Casselman.
Marianas Trench had already elevated itself above the rest of the pack with a 2006 debut, Fix Me, that showcased a knack for colouring outside the lines of factory-issue millenial punk, shrewdly-built pop, and super-adrenalized modern rock. The single and in particular the video “Shake Tramp” was enough to demonstrate these qualities, coupled with Ramsay’s uninhibited urge to be the complete song-and-dance man.
But with both the industry and the fans beating down the door for a quick second album, the Trench decided to put on the brakes. “All of a sudden you have six months to do your next record,” Ramsay sighs. “So I really had to just put my foot down and say, ‘No, I need the time to do this.’ I was not interested in putting something out for the sake of putting something out.”
