Play it LOUDER!

Make It Mean Something (Non Zero Sum Game)

And the bricks are all wet
The sand is damp and 
We smell of work
Our dirty hands 
Have built a castle
Hid our dream 
But they hang on every word
Yet we are no-one

The sky is full of clouds
The wind is radio hot and
You and I can run
To the river
Your skin is fingerprint free
Dreams are momentary
They will see us walk 
Past the tower

She always thought she’d break
She always said she’d shake
The walls on the outside 
The bars on the inside
She always thought she’d break

And we don’t count
But we are counted
Our steps are followed
Our hearts recorded
We’ll shine on the inside
Look dull in the eye
Slow on the stair and
Quick on the glance

The earth is full of crowds
The seas of plastic shrouds
You could make it mean
Something
Their fingers stroke devices
Reality’s in crisis
They will see us talk
In the shadows

She always thought she’d break
She always said she’d shake
The walls on the outside 
The bars on the inside
She always thought she’d break

The sky is full of clouds
The wind is radio hot and
You and I can run
To the river
Your skin is fingerprint free
Dreams are momentary
They will see us talk 
By the tower
But you could make it mean
More than a movie scene
They will see us look
Right through them 
And we can make it seem
More than a dying scream
They will see us kiss
Forever

!!!HOT NEWS!!! New Valuable Friends vinyl album and CD available! ALSO 2nd Deluxe Vinyl & CD+Booklet "Songs That Mean Something" See links below. 

Composer/Guitarist/Producer

Songs: We find them unpainted in our hands, throw them up into the air of our imagination, turning them in the colours we see after we close our eyes until they feel just right, and sometimes we catch them perfectly, without blemishing them...

My music is on most platforms for your ease.

Wow!!  417K+ plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends on SC alone, that provide lots of wonderfully helpful comments that fuel the next track! Really big thanks to the SC community for listening and providing such brilliant feedback and support. It means so much to myself and my collaborators - huge thanks.

I work in different styles, as the inspiration, dreams or bubonic plagiarism comes! I use Logic Pro X on Mac.
 
I write, produce and play all my own stuff (unless otherwise stated), play vintage Tokai Strats mainly, PRS Torero, Steinberger, Gretsch G2627T, Classical, Fender Dreadnought, Yamaha and Rickenbacker basses, keyboards and sax. I use Native Instrument's Komplete, Omnisphere 2 and my own organic samples.

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open headphones) when not making a bigger noise through my Yamaha HS8 studio monitors. I use Focusrite Clarett 2Pre ThunderBolt and Apogee audio interfaces, Neumann & iSK condenser & AKG dynamic mics. 

Hardware: Feb 1978 Marshall JMP 50W Combo, BOO & BOSS stomps

I love collaborating with other musicians and will compose with, play guitar for, produce, arrange, master or even just hum along with other SC musicians. Please ask!

P.S. I am a long standing member of the Performing Rights Society and PPL through my old TV and theatre work as well as my record and publishing deals.

TBR channels the intimate aesthetic of a solo artist, then puts it through a high-gain filter of grunge and metal. Forget polished studios—TBR delivers a raw, home-brewed sound that captures the grit and energy of garage rock. It’s heavy music with a personal conscience, offering a visceral commentary on modern life and political angst into potent, riff-driven anthems.

TBR’s sound is built on a powerhouse foundation, born from a bass player’s driving, ballsy rhythm section. This core energy is an adrenaline-fuelled blend of trad rock, hardcore punk, and thrash metal ferocity, which later exploded into diverse territories of cutting-edge alt rock and raw acoustic folk. No matter the evolution, that inherent metal edge and electrifying power remain the uncompromising heart of their sound.

However, the true TBR journey ignited during the pandemic, born from a burning need for authentic passion. Disillusioned by cover bands and playing others' songs, reflection forged a new path: the undeniable drive to create something truly their own.

Dive into the powerful debut album, Random Acts!
Forged over 10+ years, this album is a compelling collection of songs that masterfully merges a folky foundation with the raw energy of grunge and garage rock. Experience a sound that is both distinct and timeless, a strong and proud debut standing as a powerful statement from TBR.

However, what came next was the sophomore album; On The Surface. This is not easy listening. This is the sound of breaking points and breakthroughs, a sonic exorcism that rips through years of pain and reclaims the wreckage. On The Surface is an unflinching self-reflection, a time capsule of necessary growth and the tough, brutal road required to finally take control.

The music is a visceral assault, a lo-fi powerhouse that bleeds Grunge's grit, Thrash's fury, Sludge Metal's weight, Garage Rock's swagger, and Post Hardcore's intensity. The influences are worn proudly, but the resulting sound is uniquely its own—raw, self-produced, and pulsating with authentic, untamed energy.

This album weaponizes fear, anger, and self-depreciation, forging them into a liberating and transformative experience. It is the best form of therapy available, a testament to enduring the darkness to find the light. Prepare to face the void and emerge, finally, on the other side.

Get ready for an authentic, impactful musical journey that defines the core of TBR's unique artistry.

EileenNoise is the personal project of Marco, composer, producer and bassist from Rome.
I’ve played live for years in several iconic venues of the Roman scene like Stazione Birra, the former Blackout, and many others , with my previous bands Harshine and later Noise Shelter. Those years shaped my sound: a blend of grunge, alternative rock, and darker emotional tones.

Over time I kept evolving, experimenting with electronic and new-wave collaborations inspired by Depeche Mode, before channeling everything into EileenNoise, a project where I mix real instruments, raw feelings, and female vocal performances that bring the stories in my songs to life.

I work with different vocal artists. Sophie appears on many tracks, but you’ll also find other collaborations that have been part of my path since 2020.

Influences: Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Lacuna Coil, Depeche Mode, The Smashing Pumpkins, Hole.

My track “Burning Inside” was featured in SoundCloud’s official Buzzing Rock playlist.

New music is coming...
