Dylan Marlowe Fronts New Band 80 Acres
Dylan Marlowe has formed a new band, 80 Acres, alongside Christian Strahley (drums), Ethan Leak (guitar) David Medlin (guitar), and John Frisch (bass). The band has dropped their self-titled debut EP today (April 8) via Sony Music Nashville.
The formation of the band happened through Marlowe’s solo touring career, as all of 80 Acres backed Marlowe on the road. Forming their sound through gritty guitars, anthemic melodies and an unapologetic attitude, the band honors the punk rock genre.
Marlowe solo-penned four of the five tracks on the EP, and co-produced the project with Ryan Youmans. Medlin co-penned “Mess We Made” with Marlowe, which features Treaty Oak Revival.
“It’s just freedom,” says Marlowe. “It’s fun. It’s feeling like you’re 10 years old in your bedroom playing your guitar for the first time, learning the first song you ever learned or the first chord on your guitar. That’s how it felt making this music.”
80 Acres Track List:
1. “Wait At The Gate” (Dylan Marlowe)
2. “Least You Could Let Me Do” (Dylan Marlowe)
3. “Roses” (Dylan Marlowe)
4. “Mess We Made” (feat. Treaty Oak Revival) (David Medlin, Dylan Marlowe)
5. “Is You” (Dylan Marlowe)
