Emotional Remains

Richard Marx

Crunchy guitars and high-octane production meet a signature raspy growl. A surprising pivot into post-grunge and modern rock territory.

It's Richard Marx if he fronted a post-grunge band, and it actually works.

A restless and muscular exploration of modern rock grit filtered through a pop veteran's melodic lens.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive entry of distorted power chords on the opening track 'From the Inside' signaling a departure from his ballad past.
The gritty, strained vocal delivery in the bridge of 'Through My Vein' that leans into a raw Foo Fighters-esque intensity.
The way the rhythmic drive of 'Save Me' mimics the urgent pulse of 2000s modern rock radio.
