Marcato's goal is not just to break musical boundaries, but to bring people together through music. While the corporate music industry seeks to stratify into genres, and LABEL fans into 'demographics', Marcato runs with the principle that MUSIC is MUSIC, and defies all boundaries.

Front-man Kevin Po-Hong Drew "...has a voice capable of both BEAUTIFUL MELODY and brutality, and his lyrical style is not one randomly written. The lyrics are backed with MEANING and beliefs..." (Raychul Griffis, [Nosebleed17]). The rich guitars of Drew and Nathan Stevenson create WALLS of sound, while bassist, Jason Droste, and drummer, Jordan Spence "...bring up the low end with enveloping, SYNCHRONIZED FORCE," (Tom Brazelton, [Des Moines Music Online]).

MARCATO: the band lives up to the meaning. With a constant drive for perfection, and the desire to make music with a purpose, this band is set to take their success to the next level. No gimmicks or fake marketing schemes. Just pure energy, set into motion.
