(New York, NY) –  Gabriel The Marine will release their new EP, Stars Collecting, onOctober 30^th.  The four song EP is the band’s first release for new label home Sun Pedal Recordings.  The New York indie rock/pop band will also join Taking Back Sunday andBayside for a series of Fall dates (see dates below) with plans for more touring in support of the new release.

Gabriel The Marine front man Mike Desmond comments, “We are excited to show people what we’ve been up to. We have grown so much as people and players and will continue to do so.”

Stars Collecting was produced by Jim Wirt (Fiona Apple, Jack’s Mannequin, Incubus)and was recorded in Cleveland, OH. The band is currently finishing up their debut full length studio album with Wirt for an early 2013 release.

Formed in 2008, Gabriel The Marine is a violin-infused indie rock/pop quintet from Long Island, NY with a sound all their own.  They have self-released two critically acclaimed EPs, receiving high praise from Spin Magazine as a band to watch adding “this quintet stands out. They eschew bratty pop-punk and cheesy emo-pop for a violin-laced sound that wraps around a conceptual, continuous narrative of a character called Gabriel. Think the Decemberists meet Jimmy Eat World.”  AbsolutePunk also raved “Post-emo orchestral rock that’s rife with tenderness, passion and grit. Phenomenal. Gabriel The Marine is most assuredly a band to watch out for in the years to come.”

Gabriel The Marine has played the Bamboozle festival twice and have shared the stage with such artists as John Nolan, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, Jacks Mannequin, Mae, Anberlin, and the Dear Hunter.   The band is Michael Desmond on Vocals/Guitar, Dylan Ebrahimian on Violin/Piano, Dominick D’Agostino on Guitar, Tom Costa on Bass and Tommy Davis on Drums.
