Marah are a Philadelphia rock band led by brothers Dave and Serge Bielanko, often compared to Springsteen and The Replacements. The featured review (4/5) hails Angels of Destruction! as a return to ragged, bar-band glory, noting Christine Smith on keyboards. It recalls earlier industry polish via producer Owen Morris but celebrates the group’s stubborn, romantic grit. Expect garage edges, frontier twang, and heart-on-sleeve ballads.
