MEDIA PAWNSHOP : Marginal Way, Marginal Way

Marginal Way is an in-your-face skate/thrash/punk rock band straight out of Seattle Washington. The band was started by lead singer Adrien, drummer Noah, his brother Josh on guitar and bassist James in 2003. In 2004 Jarrett joined with the band as a second guitarist after meeting Noah through the Idol Threats, a hardcore punk band with members from Boston. With this lineup MW began playing out more and writing more songs. MW’s sound also began to develop into more hardcore style, mixing a fast abrasive sound with melodic undertones. In 2006 Josh parted ways with the band and headed out to his home state Hawaii with his bride Jennifer. Bummed out but not ready to call it quits, MW decided to recruit long time friend Terry to fill in as second guitarist. With this lineup MW began to focus more on full rhythm and and their sound continued to evolve as Terry began to write songs for the band. In the summer of 2007 Jarrett moved back to his home town of New Orleans to help rebuild and to be there for his family who were struggling with their own losses. MW was now on the lookout for yet another guitar player, and that’s when Jim joined the band. A long time friend of the band, Jim was a perfect fit and brought a renewed enthusiasm to the group. In September 2007 MW flew to New Orleans and met Jarrett at Balance Recording Studio to record their first full length album “Dead To Youth”. Currently, MW is playing around the Seattle area and awaiting the release of “Dead To Youth”.
