Nouveau retro pop rock music: Definitely rock, fairly pop, somewhat retro, and a bit more experimental. http://www.stonemarmot.com
Our music is the result of not watching TV for over 40 straight years. That's right! The person who writes all our songs hasn't had a working television in his house since January, 1982. Scary, isn't it! That could explain the somewhat retro, rather experimental feel to the music, which has been described as sounding somewhere between Buddy Holly, The Ramones, The B-52s, and They Might Be Giants. This CD is an object lesson in how warped and depraved a television-starved mind can get. And that's not all! To make matters worse, since no self-respecting human would stoop low enough to play this stuff, he suckered four poor, innocent cartoon characters into recording his music. Cartoon characters have it tough enough as it is, with people laughing at them all the time, without having to be subjected to this! His poor, unfortunate victims, who refer to themselves collectively as Stone Marmot, are: Cindy: Guitars Sid: Keyboards, guitars, lead and backup vocals Sammy: Bass, lead and backup vocals Bruce: Percussion, backup vocals This quartet played their little paper hearts out as the ignoble fiend who created them and their music practically produced and engineered them to death. Therefore, for the sake of the cartoons, we hope you give their music a good listen and try to appreciate their tireless and selfless efforts. Please! Don't let this happen to you or someone you love! Be sure you and your loved ones receive a healthy minimum dose of television each and every day.

Lyrics
You keep building me down Bulldozing through my dreams Tied to the ground Deflating all my schemes There's safety in mediocrity Fame gives you a fright Safety in mediocrity Afraid I'll shine my light I - I - I - I'm a dam about to burst I'm breaking from the herd Gonna show you all I'm worth Yes, I - I - I - I am pushing past these bars Stretching out my arms Until I reach the stars You keep building me down Bulldozing through my dreams Tied to the ground Deflating all my schemes There's safety in mediocrity Fame gives you a fright Safety in mediocrity Afraid I'll shine my light I - I - I - I will not remain contained I'm breaking away these chains Unleashing a hurricane Yes, I - I - I - I am blasting out of glide Kick that throttle wide Explode into overdrive You can't hold me back You can't keep me down You can't make me feel like a helpless clown You can play it safe You can play it scared You can run away from every dare But I'm going to fight I'm going to win Even if I'm knocked down again and again I know who I am I know that I'm strong And I'll be sitting at the top . . . where I belong Because I'm strong So stop building me down!
