In the midst of an evolutionary creative streak, Marco Argiro’s infectious melodies draw back to the greatest of influences, such as The Beatles (Revolver-era), Tom Petty, The Kinks, Elliot Smith, and The Traveling Wilburys. His latest album Love (grab it on iTunes) calls to mind a psychedelic era of rock infused with harmonies reminiscent of the West Coast sounds of the 70s. The album represents love in all variations: young love, faltering love, and love’s evolution over time.
Now Marco is moving forward into new territories in the Marco with Love project, and Crave has an exclusive video premiere of “Two Ships Passing in the Night,” for an idea of what lies ahead for Argiro & friends. The clip gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the recording process of Marco with Love’s upcoming new EP, and sets the stage for what’s to come.
Argiro has made a name for himself internationally in the ultra melodic power-pop band Le Mood, as well as the transatlantic anthemic rock group The Killing Floor. “Ever the quintessential frontman,” (The Broward Palm Beach New Times), Argiro caught the eye and ear of Marky Ramone in 2010. Ramone tapped Argiro to take over as lead vocalist, filling in for the ailing Michael Graves (The Misfits) during the kickoff of Marky Ramone’s Blitzkrieg European tour. For Argiro, a lifelong Ramones fan, it was a dream come true. The experience inspired Love’s closing track, “Will You Remember Poison Heart?”.
After his solo debut in 2005, Argiro began to release music under the pseudonym “Le Mood.” Splitting his time between Le Mood and The Killing Floor, Argiro also started his own record label, Outright Rock Records. 2013 saw the release of the second album under the Marco Argiro name, Love, on that very label.
