  Formed in 2020, Manchester-based Luna Marble describes themselves as a contemporary classic rock band inspired by the blues and psychedelia of the 1970s. With supercharged stadium-ready tunes, the band marries its anthemic choruses with ethereal textures and enchanting melodies, taking this well-loved genre to its own territory. The band has been compared to acts like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Rival Sons, and Soundgarden. 'Sea of Sorrow' is Luna Marble’s second single ahead of their debut album. 'Sea Of Sorrow' is a dynamic classic rock offering, from its broody, hard-hitting verses to uplifting choruses with varied and delightful vocals that soar throughout.
