Marathon

Marathon is a band forged by the raw intensity of Amsterdam’s underground scene. Inviting listeners into a world where sound and emotion fuse together, Marathon is making waves in the post-punk revival scene with a sound that fuses post-punk’s edge, shoegaze’s atmosphere, and indie’s introspection.

Marathon’s music captures the anxieties of the 21st century, with relentless drumming by Lennart, gritty vocals by Kay, and commanding six-string basslines by Nina, creating a backdrop of tension and release. Expanded live by keys and guitars by additional musicians Sofie and Victor, their sound evolves into an explosive mix of post-punk, shoegaze, noise and grunge—a “wall of sound” that balances darkness with the promise of new beginnings.

Known for their gripping live performances, Marathon in recent years has taken to the stages of major festivals like Best Kept Secret, ESNS, The Great Escape and Reeperbahn Festival. Their highly anticipated debut album, Fading Image, set to release in Spring 2025, explores themes of transience and resilience. Each track weaves haunting melodies with introspective lyrics, inviting listeners to confront their emotions amid uncertainty. As they continue to make their mark, Marathon invites all to join them on this enigmatic journey.
