LANDMARQ was formed in London in early 1990 and have to date released 10 albums (includes 3 live albums), plus 2 concert DVD's recorded live in Poland (2005) and The Netherlands (2013). (See full discography below).
Their long-awaited 5th studio album, "Entertaining Angels", was released in 2012 to glowing reviews and the band followed this up with Angels On Tour, a series of live concerts through 2012-2014.
This was with vocalist Tracy Hitchings who was with the band from 1997 to 2017.**
Subsequently, there followed a vinyl release of "Entertaining Angels" (2-LP set, 2014), an anthology celebrating Landmarq's 25th anniversary, "Origins" (2-CD set, 2014) and "RoadSkill", a CD/DVD set recorded live in The Netherlands in 2013 (rel. 2015).
Now in 2025, celebrating their 35th year, the band is fronted by vocalist Wolf Campen who joined the band in 2018 following the departure of long-time member, Tracy Hitchings. Also added to the line-up at this time was drummer Andy Allen. The line-up is completed by long-time members, keyboardist/vocalist/producer, Mike Varty, guitarist Uwe D'rose and bassist/vocalist Steve Gee.
A new album is currently in production.
**(Sadly, our good friend and former singer Tracy Hitchings passed away on December 10th, 2022)
