Marshmellow Overcoat has unleashed Ghost In The Doorway, the band’s latest album. Ghost In The Doorway is MMOC’s seventh studio album, and second recorded with the current lineup of Tyler Calkins, Dave Verbocy, Alan Hancock and Anthony Cavallaro. Recorded at GCR Audio in Buffalo with engineer Brad Lauchert, the album is the band’s strongest yet.
The album is the culmination of a long journey of writing and performing. Thirteen years ago Tyler Calkins and Dave Verbocy started Marshmellow Overcoat with the intent of playing “Classic Rock for Today” - Songs written in the vein of old classics but with a modern edge and twist. In the years since, the band has evolved from trying to sound like its heroes to crafting its own sound.........more |

Jumping Sharks sessions took place between December of 2018 and May of 2019 at GCR Audio and Mammoth Recording Studio, both located near downtown Buffalo, NY. We’d been sitting on most of the new songs for some time, and it helped to have the opportunity to rehearse everything at our home studio (That ‘70s Show) before spending time at GCR and Mammoth. Brad, Mike and Justin(From GCR & Mammoth) were all fantastic to work with. They made these recordings sound fresher than my usual 1968-ish approach. But we still retained that throwback Classic Rock feel. As much as I wanted the songs to play as a thought-out album, we also wanted them to each stand out on their own. I remember mentioning I wouldn’t be opposed to somehow making the album play on constant shuffle, somewhat like a choose your own adventure novel. But as we finished up the final sessions a running order began to take shape, as well as an overall theme. The title Jumping Sharks is a nod to us getting a bit older and perhaps we’re 'Jumping The Shark' on some little things. Embracing it and allowing the music to go where it’s going in the future are key elements. As much as we love Classic Rock and stuff our parents enjoy, there’s a chance this will be the last of our albums to have that old-time feel......more -Tyler |
