"girl who has got my eye has got me good"
Armed and Dangerous by New Orleans based Caribbean rock fusion project Marina Orchestra is gloriously bathed in a sort of ska meets reggae meets two tone. The project is the brain child of singer songwriter Justin Powers and (to me) hearkens back to late 70' / early 80's ska punk and with more current tropical punk motifs. It is exotic, it is indie / ska punk with a brightly colored umbrella in it.

Marina Orchestra is the New Orleans based Caribbean Rock fusion project helmed by singer songwriter Justin Powers. Much like other prominent rockers of yore like David Byrne of Talking Heads and Paul Simon, Marina Orchestra cleverly weaves between genres creating a rollicking and groovy style of rock that is distinctly original. Known for their vibrant musical energy and life affirming lyrics the band has wowed audiences with their soaring vocal harmonies and dance-able rhythms.
Since 2010 Marina Orchestra has been a vision of a blaring brass section, swinging back-up singers, churning poly rhythms and sweet melodies that stick with you. Marking the ten year anniversary of the project the band is rearing up for the release of their 3rd studio album “Night Life”. Available in time for their appearances at a string of Spring festivals including New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
