SideBMusic signs another artist: Chewy Marble

On their third album, "Modulations", you'll find much of the kind of hooky, melodic power-pop that has made Chewy Marble a fan favorite.  The band also expands their horizons a bit as songwriter Brian Kassan takes on lead vocals on several of the tracks, giving the band a darker, more introspective side.  This is an album that could end up as many fans' favorite Chewy Marble disc because of the varying hues.

"Chewy Marble is on our broadcast quite often. Cool! Keep me posted on their upcoming release."

"I am very excited about this new album. Brian is a fantastic artist. If [Modulations] is half as good as the first two, it will be great."

Adam Waltemire, Pop Garden Radio, WMEL, Melbourne, FL

"Congrats on signing Chewy Marble! A great, great band!"

Lina Latonjua

"Another great pick up for SideBMusic. Really love these guys. Please let me know when the record's out so I cn buy a copy."
