On The Brink (Rarities, Remixes and Unreleased)
 
On The Brink (Rarities, Remixes and Unreleased) Quantity in Basket: None
Price: $14.00
 
 
Quantity:
 

19 rarities, remixes and unreleased recordings from Brad Marino, hand picked by Brad, re-mixed and re-mastered just for you. "In advance of ‘On The Brink’, the song ‘Not Fooling Me’ was leaked.  The track features Brad backed by a stellar supporting cast of Craig Sala, Dave Strong, and Bobby Davis.  I dig this song because it's got that classic 60’s pop sound.  It reminds me of being a young punk rocker back in the 90’s and refusing to listen to any radio station except the oldies station.  If you like timeless melodies, stellar hooks, and really great rock 'n' roll guitar, this song is for you." - Lord Rutledge  "Brad Marino is on this blog like forever my brain tells me. The first time was only 2019 though. Of course that is already close to six years.  Since than he became a staple artist with singles and albums almost once a year. In 2025 Marino is cleaning out his closets and came across a bunch recordings he had recorded but not released. ‘On The Brink’ and ‘Not Fooling Me’ were released as teasers.  The former is a rocker in the finest Brad Marino tradition. Somewhere between The Ramones and The Romantics he manages to find another great melody that invites, well almost demands to be shouted along to. The song has a great riff and all the solo notes a good rock songs needs. The latter song is softer and slower, the kind of song I do not associate with him.  Without coercion I will always opt for ‘On The Brink’, let's rock, baby.  The darker song and more 60’s influences is alright.  He gets away with this other side with ease, as the song has a great melody and sound.  The kind that could get a The Kik treatment here in NL, as in a translated lyrics and make everything a tat poppier.  Even Brad Marino leftovers sound great, but don't leftovers often taste better the next day?" - WoNo Blog  GREAT!!
