Märvel - The Hills Have Eyes (2017)

Release: 7 July 2017

Märvel was formed in 2002 when John Steen (The King), Ulrik Bostedt ( Speedo) and Tony Samuelsson (The Vicar) spent a high school exchange year in Colorado, USA. Ditching classes, drinking beer and playing rock n roll in the garage worked out pretty fine for the three young fellas. The first vinyl ep "Marvellous" was released through the small NY based label "New York Powerhitters" and the band got airtime on several college radio stations before they left the USA and returned to Sweden with lousy grades, but high spirits. Two other vinyl eps (Heroine Tracks, Bedlam at the embassy) were released the following years through Swedish indie labels. 

The first album, titled "Five Smell City" after their hometown Linköping (known locally as the city of five smells ) was followed by a ep with cover tracks (Unleashed) ranging from Bon Jovi, Parliament, KISS and Robyn.

In 2017 Märvel shas started to work with The Sign Records with the ambition to release a new album during the autumn of 2017 and do international releases of the band's previous albums. The first album to get a wider distribution is "The Hills Have Eyes" followed by "Warhawks of War" during the late summer of 2017. A new chapter in the history of Märvel have started.
