Bio
TRUBADOR is an American rock band based out of Nashville TN. They have melodic driven songs with originality, depth, emotion and plenty of hard-driving drums. The singer vocalizes most songs with a heavily-felt presence. Sometimes they lighten up with acoustic work but still remain firmly infused in their heavier roots.
.
They've been described as having the sadness and haunting sounds of Black Sabbath, to the heavy feel of Alice in Chains in some songs. Most of their fans are music listeners who enjoy long listens, album rock, 90's heavy/grunge style and 70's metal bands. With a requirement of strong song writing.

BIO



TRUBADOR is an American rock band based out of Nashville TN. They have melodic driven songs with originality,
depth, emotion and plenty of hard-driving drums. The singer vocalizes most songs with a heavily-felt presence.
Sometimes they lighten up withacoustic work but still remain firmly infused in their heavier roots.
They've been described as having the sadness and haunting sounds of Black Sabbath, to the heavy feel of
Alice in Chains in some songs. Most of their fans are music listeners who enjoy long listens, album rock,
90's heavy/grunge style and 70's metal bands.
With a requirement of strong song writing.
TRUBADOR is a rule breaker. Known frequently to break rock-song rules by having many structures
built within each song. They continually will push the boundaries of a listener. This can range from having no chorus,
to no singing on a chorus, using half vocalized and half instrumental songs, going straight acoustic,
and using a range of lyric content from three-worded songs to 9 minute epics.
They're described best by their fans as very original, kick ass rock with a return to seriousmusic writing
as an art form. What the band says they do best is this; "We place a lot of emotional trust in our listeners.
We know we don't always follow the rules of what your "supposed to do" or what's popular for musicians today
but we're guided more by what we feel the song needs and how we feel when listening to it.
Ultimately we leave all of our trust in the ears of our listeners and fans. They're really what this is all about for us.
Getting our music into their hands and building a relationship with them."
Record Label Offers: If TRUBADOR was offered a million dollars right now to a record label, we would not take it.
Reason being; you can bet at that price (or any price these days) the label will whore you out,
screw you in the you-kno-wut and basically have you dancing like a bear for the masses. Skrew that man.
Not in a million years. Our music iz our life. That and our beliefs. That's all we have.
You wanna kno what heaven on earth is? Its getting into that groove, getting lost in the song,
having sweat pour down your face and looking up to see someone in the audience "sharing" that moment with you.
There's no price to be paid for that man. none at all. Heaven is not owing the record label all your earnings and doing a
Best Buy tour playing in the store next to the headphones and mp3 players. screw labels unless they start
givin a damn about the bands that feed them. rant over - marcoe
"Watch" live bands. Let's not make "live" music a dying art...
FAN THOUGHTS
hey i read ur description on ur channel, and i am wowed! u guys feel the same way about rock and music as i do! i too deeply and profoundly love rock music, it is my life. i hope to one day be doing the same as u, playing in a band! it may take a while to really discover my personal sound and time 4 the music industry to get back into the hard rockin stuff and not this radio family friendly mainstream piece of shit! but thats cool. i love rock and i love playing it. there is no greater feeling in life than to be on a stage 4 millions and doing something u love. no greater feeling than being able to express urself through music. no greater feeling to be rockin out and see the audience enjoying it! but what really cool is that u guys are grunge! YES!!! where has grunge gone? their were a bunch of great grunge bands back in the day! i feel grunge was short lived and didnt really get a chance to leave its legacy behind. thats why we need grunge again! bring it back, and this time make sure it lives on FOREVER! rock on dudes
Just flicked through a couple of your videos and I'm intrigued by your style and approach to expressing different facets of life - it's a very revealing take on the rock genre, not clichéd or contrived, simply honest and true to life. "Try in vain" is a brilliant tune in my opinion, almost seems to borrow certain stylistic conventions from Grunge, which is very appealing to me :) I shall continue to work my way through your work. Keep the creativity flowing :)
wow, usually the new bands now in days are all a bunch of emo fags, but you guys fuckin ROCK! Thanks for the invite and keep it up! I know you guys are going to get famous if you keep it up.
Big thanks for subscribing,you guys must be TRUE fans of music. I have many,many different and divergent styles of music on my channel. Muchos Appreciados! (the title of KYUSS" greatest hits,like you didn't know). Gritty and grungy,I like it,real rock'n'roll. You cats can jive in live,but I bet if you were put in a studio the frontman's vocals would be even more powerful and rugged! Thanks for the sub and add. See ya' later like Darth Vader.
You guys are great! Ur music is so good! The lead singer reminds me of Zakk Wylde! (its a good thing). If you guys get really famous, I will so go to one of your concerts.
Oh man this shit is fucking mother fucking awesome! I love AiC! Also Nirvana of course, and Staind. Yeah man, you are on of my favourite bands right fucking now!
I like this. The drums are the defining characteristic in this band. It all comes together around that. Are you guys gonna be touring the US?
did i see a Kurt Cobain poster there? =P you guys shound...different...from other bands, there isnt a commercial tone tou your music I like your sound
just favorited this.....love everything about it..the music, the lyrics, the vocals, the video.....you guys ROCK!!!!! AND KEEP DOING IT!!!
Cheers on your speech you've made in your profile, 's about time people would react to exploitation of music by those vampires of those main labels that care nothing or too less about their contracts's interest but only how to make as much money as possible. There should be more bands like yours and then finally the chirade of 'breaking through' in the world of music will be brought down forever, It's not the labels that allow a band to break through, it's US the people, and when the people like you then you don't need a stupid label to 'take care' of the other things, Keep up making your music and I'll keep check'n in to listen to it Cheers -501-
I checked out your little rant and it made me smile. It's no different over here though I think England's situation came from 'flooding the market'. A hundred pubs in a 10 mile radius with live music every night of the week in some parts of London. There just aren't enough fans to go round and being in a band is nothing special anymore. Everybody knows somebody who plays in a band, big deal. The talk over here is that 'live music is gonna save the industry' as no-one buys music anymore but I'm not holding my breath. If you're forced to give your music away for free, what does that tell the consumer.....that it isn't worth anything? The band I was in folded after 5 years because we just couldn't get anything going, too many bands everywhere, everyone too busy to come out, playing gigs with 6 other bands and 20 minute sets each, it was a bad joke.......check the film 'Bad News' by The Comic Strip if you can find it. So, now I just create for the pleasure of it and what ever will be will be. I was in Phoenix, Arizona a couple of weeks ago staying with friends, and the scene looked better there but not by much. I think these days people have too much choice, I was struggling with the tv channels you have over there let alone anything else ;) Anyways, good luck on journey and long live rock 'n' roll. Maybe something will change when they realise what they've lost!
Ironically, this song sounds very dark and groove heavy. Amazing song guys, I love the work that you do, hope to see you atleast once in my lifetime :)
Great sound. Nice to hear some new original rock. Been playin' drums for forty years and still love hard drivin' music. You guys will go far. Take care and good luck to all of you.
I was listening to your song "are you high enuogh" and it's a really good song with good riffs,but when you come in on the chorus theirs not much intensety on it.I think if you put a little more intensety on the chorus it would take the song to a whole nother level.Great song
"Another Life" is hypnotically awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We really enjoyed your music. You sound a lot like your influences, but we really felt you have a lot more "Tool" in you than you realize which is a sweet aspect to have
Just had to stop by and tell you guys how fucking awesome your shit is. Really like the darkness
Hey Guys! ... I see, you're true family!!.... Voice vocal is GREeeAt!!!!!.. Keep rockin
Hey guys! Thanks so much for the friend request! Your music sounds great! Great metal edge without being too over the top
vocals kinda remind me of a mix between like Johnny Cash and Glen Danzig its interesting keep it up and great vid
damn u guys got a pretty sick sound goin on im glad i subscibed- ru guys on itunes/other? id like to buy some? of yur stuff
I was a bit scared when i saw "Metal/Grunge" but in fact a loved your music! See you on paris when you are big stars
nice sound. diggin the vox especially. sounds like a sweet mix of fear factory and seether or something. two of my favorite bands i might add.
Cool shit!!! man this is defenily my style and my music keep it up guys coz its hard to find cool stuff like this
Strong and soft as the same time...... I dig it ! Congratulations Mister Marcoe.... beautiful voice
Likin' the tunes. Couldn't agree more about the record label comments on your bio. Lastly, you are so right, there is absolutely nothing like a live show! Kudos to you for trying your hardest to perfect that aspect of your craft! AC/DC is the ultimate live performance. "THAT'S THE WAY I WANNA ROCK 'N' ROLL" If you ever get to Vancouver BC I'll be there.
Thanks for the request! Excellent, metallic offerings! I enjoyed the listen! Keep Nashville metalized! Your new, "OLD" fan!
Such a great time to discover your fantastic sounds and videos... Really cool my friends
Nice sound, tough yet with feeling. I like the rough edges that peek through in spots....not at all commercialized and fruity. You have the sound of success about u.
I appreciate the request. Listened to your music, you are great. Nashville Tennessee is a great place to be from. Hope you hit it Big! Keep in touch. Maybe when I'm down that way will catch your show. Would Love to see ya live.
Honored to be among your circle of friends. You guys are excellent! Hope to catch a live show. Sounding good!
! I'VE JUST ADDED YOU GUYS, I TOTALLY LOVE YOUR SOUND. I LIVE IN CALI AND IF YOU EVER COME OUT FOR A SHOW, HIT ME UP
Awesome tunes! You guys are cool! Luv the basement vid. Rock On Dudes
Ur sound is great...I was a big fan of grunge music (Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Nirvana..) and I still am!
l ! Your music's great ! We'll be visiting your page oftern to see what's happening and to listen your tracks ! Keep up the good wor
yeah man your band is great you guys are bringing back the old grunge kinda style with a twist and it sounds great keep rockin
you have good videos, your taste of music is amazing too
Yeah you guys are awsome, you remind me a little Bit Like Alice in chains, You should do a cover of one of their songs :]
Thanks for the friend invite. You guys definitely have some good ideas and I like the whole dark, dreary, vibe thing, however I would try and incorporate? a little more of a variety in your chord progressions. A lot of the songs seem to sound very similar. Your definitely a lot better than a lot of other bands out there. And I look forward to hearing some more new stuff! Peace out!
you should totally sell this song to apple or something make some serous cash
this song is amazing you guys rock. Your influences are the same as mine. Nirvana and AIC are my favorite bands of all time. Love it! keep up the good work!
Great song! I feel like this was inspired by "Rooster."
its just......incredible.......its ready for an album.....you guys will go far
you possess more talent then I'd expect from a group of only three guys. You def got my attention.
Yo!! dat 49 days joints HOT kidd!!! feeling dat Rock & Soul flava. Horns Up.
Your music is great :) I love this :) Greetings from Poland :)
HI GUYS, LOVED YOUR MUSIC. THANKS FOR THE REQ. AND SHARING YOUR TALENT! LOVE AND PEACE

FAN REVIEW - [the most important review]
Many years ago when i first heard Black Sabbath who were a local band to where i live there was a kind of eerie sadness to there sound which draws you in and i just loved them they were differen't to all the other rock bands.
When i hear you guys play you have the same effect on me, not that you sound like Sabbath but you have that same eerie feeling to your music, it's great , i like this, someone should sign you guys! with exposure you would build a cult following of loyal fans worldwide. ace"

RE: VERY EXCITING NEWS -> TRUBADOR PLACES 34th IN THE WORLD.. "Congratulations guys! You have stuck by your integrity and your honesty and sincerity clearly is demonstrated in your music. This may sound like a silly request but PLEASE leave the demo of ‘Another Life’ intact. It’s raw and real. I played it for a mate of mine yesterday and he was blown away by the depth of it. Said he got goose bumps! Seriously. Do you guys have a banner link I could display on my page?" Michael Fugazi

"Look homies, I'm lookin for an apprenticeship as a sound tech.
I'd rather be Trubador's sound tech but until they headline ozzfest, I'm pretty sure I can hit up as many shows as I can with the roadie (skady) as I can.
Except I wrecked the car yesterday. I'm alright, but it puts a hella damper on seeing Trubador live again.
Now, I remember trubador live. I remember them before Criss met Kim, before Jaymes was legal to die for his country, and before Marcoe was wise enough to stop himeslf from drinking himself to death.
I sat and drank with these guys til we got their songs down. I told them what needed to be done and they did their own thing anyways. Why? Because do you see Motley Crue doing what their Corporate Execs said what to do? Do you see what Twisted Sister is doing these days?
Trubador is the new thing, to bring rock out of the Emo sickness that has plagued american rock long enough. let's start a new rock revolution that even Pink Floyd couldnt beat. Lets hear Trubador on the Billboard 1, lets hear them destroy Akon, Kardinal Official, and anoy other fake fucker that tries to take their place.
There is nothing in me that says they wont sacrifice anything to do it. To make a record and become the rockers they know they are. They would die for it. Live for it. Anything. Just get over the Slipknot new album circle jerk and sign them, Roadrunner Records. or ANYONE. these kids deserve it.
There is nothing they cannot accomplish, given enough time. These men are the new face of rock. Let them grasp their own revolution. Let's see Trubador face tomorrow's charts with no fear. Lets see Trubador blow the world away. This band kicks ass, and there isnt a person on earth that wouldnt agree.
PS: yo marcoe, why am i not on the fav friends? i'm one of the biggest supporters man. help a brotha out, once i get the car back, trubador stickers EVERYWHERE
